enable ssh access to a remote server at home router and modem

I just built this home wireless network with a Linksys WRT54GL router and a Motorola SBG900 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway (which by itself is a modem as well as a router, but I just wanted to use it as modem). I chose the lowest level of firewall at SBG900 and the default firewall settings for WRT54GL. That was when I couldn't ssh to a remote server. But when I turn off the firewall at SBG900, I can finally ssh to the remote.

"You should put your Motorola in a bridge mode and, thus, give a chance
to Linksys to do all router and firewall job for you.

And yes, using only Linksys as your firewall should be safe enough."
