Thanks for all the replies I will try this out when she gets the time! :) to use hamachi i will need to set up some dynamic dns service, with SSH i can just connect to localhost. I am not sure what that command does, I will have to do some reading on how screen works, but I tried it on a machine in my network, and the result a normal ssh session into the remote machine. In case there is something wrong, I will look into how to setup a reverse ssh tunnel, and then try to figure it out, thanks for the help.
