HOW-TO ssh over the internet

[lazertek]

setting up ssh over a LAN is pretty straight forward but when it comes to setting it up to be accessible over the internet it has a little more steps to it...

I have a router through which all my computers connect wirelessly/wired.... Now lets say I want to setup a computer in this network to be accessible by over the internet using ssh...

How would I do this... Remember that the computer is connected through a router that gives it it's ip address through DHCP.... A complete guide on how-to this will help me out along with a whole bunch of folks who have a hard time with ssh-ing over the internet...
