Here's how I do it.  I have a westell modem and I configured it to 
forward port 22 to 192.168.1.97, which is the IP address that my Linksys 
is using to communicate with the Westell.  In the Linksys, I forward 
port 22 to 192.168.2.55, which is one of my servers running sshd.  Now 
when I connect to my static IP address, ssh 123.123.12.21 (phoney) from 
my motel room using the laptop, I get directly into the .55 system.  I 
access the Westell locally (from the .55 machine) by 
http://192.168.1.254.  I think I access the Linksys from 192.168.2.1. 

That works for me.  I can't help you find the place to forward the 
Netgear router, but on the Westell, I enter export mode (must have 
javascript on to do this)/Configure/Nat
There's a dropdown selection box you'll find "SSH Secure Shell".  Edit 
that and add the destination (192.168.2.55 in my case).
