Off the top of my head, you have to
    set your router to forward port 22 through to you linux box.
    enable/start the sshd daemon/service,
    allow port 22 through your linux firewall,
    add your work ip to /etc/hosts.allow example: sshd : LOCAL, work_ip_here
    service xinetd reload to load hosts.allow
