[solved] ssh without external ip or port forwarding

[undofen]

The situation is as follows, I've set up a gentoo system for a non linux (yet) person, so obiously he can't do anything above whats linked on his desktop. I need ssh access to the computer to update/alter the system, problem is in the subject - no access from outside. Is there any way I can have ssh access to that computer ? I can tell that person through some IM to ssh to my computer - can I use this anyhow backwards ? Any suggestions welcome, I really need to have ssh access to that computer or the person will switch back to windblows . Oh and lets just say that obtaining a external ip and/or some port forwarded to that computer ain't an option.

No idea if you can ssh backwards or something.

I assume the person you're helping is on dialup, and the reason that you consider it impossible to obtain his/her ip, is that he/she is not skillfull enough to look his/her ip up in a console?

It's maybe not what you asked for, but you could just setup an no-ip ar dyndns domainname alias. Requires nu maintenance, and starts up automatically at boot.

Thank u very much!! thats exactly what I needed! The problem was not a dial-up connection, the persons internet provider just didnt offer external ip's nor port forwarding.
