Do you have an external IP on this machine?
It sounds like you simply need to enable port forwarding on whatever router you have connecting you to the internet.
For example if you wanted to SSH into the machine from outside, you would go to the port forwarding page on your router config and forward port 22 to 192.168.1.2

it will be better to configure NAT
on linux box it will be DNAT&SNAT
on cisco router ip nat outside and ip nat inside
