After getting fed up with the slow speeds of BSNL, I switched to wishnet. Their plans are good and I get quite good download speeds. However I'm missing one major thing: static IP, BSNL had that and I was easily able to setup Dyndns or noip and get access to my home network via SSH (running on my Debian based NAS WD MyBookLive).

I will be highly grateful if some user will be able to properly guide me to do this. I have a TPLink WR 841N router
I have just little knowledge about networking.

I guess @vivek.krishnan will be able to help me, will love some help from other members too if possible
 
If you have Static IP and able to setup DNS correctly you need to make sure your ports(22) are forwarded correctly in your router for ssh
 
No static IP.. thats what my actual problem is.. I have seen team viewer / Logmein / WD My cloud etc.. service can connect to the internal IPs from outside, so I'm sure that this is possible.. But just I don't know how to do it.

I have a shared IP which the cable walla gives via a LAN cable which is put into a router ...
I can setup DMZ for a device(NAS Box) and all.. but I cannot SSH to the NAS from outside world.
 
There is a thread in networking section which explains the process it was written some time back
 
Had to do something similar a while back. DynDns + port forwarding config on the router did it.

1. DynDns for exposing the IP out

2. Port forwarding to get to your needed device.
 
@random2 I had the same setup for the past few years works flawlessly when you have an ip assigned to you, I'm not talking about static ip (just any ip just for you) like in BSNL/ADSL, but it won't work on broadband services like Alliance/Wishnet who shares an IP between users..

@dinjo, trying to find the thread you talked about. Will be a lot of help if you could point me there...
 
If the IP starts from 172.xx.xx something, then DDNS will not work as the IP is not a public IP.
Check, which IP series you are getting.
 
@dinjo my problem is not ddns, but actually I am behind a shared IP, so ddns won't help me in any way. Its like I have a Double NAT (one mine and another one my BB provider).. even if I have my IP, I cannot get properly to my home pc because many other users also have the same ip.

@rock_ya_baby Reverse SSH Tunneling helped me.. Thanks a lot .. I just didnt ever know about it... After double tunneling using putty, now I am able to fully get access to my home network. (I guess this is only feasible since I have a always on server available elsewhere) Thanks again for the new knowledge.
