connect to my linux server from uni?

[Lex]

I'm using a linux computer running ubuntu as the OS. I'm using a bt adsl modem box in my house and i wish to connect to the server from my uni through the modem.

Other users have their workstations connected to my adsl modem. So does anyone know how i can do this?

sorry you lost me with "simply ssh in with putty." I am using this service because i am designing a final project and dont want to lug my server into uni. I just want to connect from my house. I know its possible but someone said i must tell the modem router to forward to the server via mac address. Is there an easier way?

is it a multi-port modem/router or do they connect via your pc? I thought standard BT adsl modems didn't have routing capabilities, that's why I had to replace mine with a modem/router before I could do what you're after doing.

If it is a modem/router (or if you replace your bt modem with one) there should be some sort of "port forwarding" page so you can tell any connections on port xx to be forwarded to a specific ip address (ie your pc).

sorry i was being slightly ambiguous to say the least. just to clarify i wish to connect to my linux box FROM uni. I am using ubuntu on m linux box but wish to access my plone site which has its own http protocol.

i have a 4 port modem/router that i bought as bt didnt supply me with one.

does this help?
