Port forwarding is the generic term, and one used by many home router
manufacturers, but D-Link calls it "Virtual Server".  Set the public port
to 10022 and the private port to 22, private ip to the lan ip address of
the 390.

The DI-624 will allow you to connect from inside to the outside address,
and Comcast routers typically permit this also.  Their SMC Barricade combo
modem-router units will not, but if you're using a D-Link, you probably
don't have one, just a Motorola or similar modem.  If you do have a combo
unit in front of your 624, you need to have it forward 10022 to your 624
on port 10022.
