  1. You need to set up your router to forward port 22 to the correct computer. Port 22 is the default SSH port. Forwarding is necessary to prevent the connection from getting firewalled at the router and in order to route the connection to the correct computer.
  2. You need to configure your system’s firewall to accept outside connections on port 22. If your system runs iptables, then you can quickly open up port 22 with the following command. Note that this will go away when you reboot, so it’s good to test that everything works properly. I recommend reading up about firewall management for your specific version of Linux to set up a permanent solution.

    sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT

Of course, there could be other factors at play here, but I believe that these two are the primary sources of your problem.
