[FreeNX-kNX] Workstation without Fixed IP as FreeNX server

[Tyler Ellis]

Lawrence, you need to give that workstation a static internal ip, then 
goto your router and bind port 22 to that internal machine. You likely 
have only one public ip address. This is what you call a simple 
portforward.. Consult your router documentation.
