I just sshed to my router, ran the commands, and it worked!!!!
Now another question, I am a bit confused with the ssh keys.
I am getting prompted for a password on the N900 when running the "ssh -R command"
Do I need the public key from the router on the N900? or from the N900 on the router? I don't want to lose the password configuration in general, just for this command!
Also, any idea how I make this ssh loop run in the background and on startup?
I know my way around creating .sh file and giving them run permissions, I just need to know where to put it. maybe i'll make some code to check if there is internet connectivity, and if not, stop the loop or increase the sleep time.
Edit : I solved the public key problems.
Tomato allows inserting the public keys via the web GUI, so now no more password needed.
Just need to run the script on startup and in background.
I'll google a bit (:

Make sure authorized_keys has permissions 600 and ~user/.ssh has permissions 700 (on the router).

If you're running your script as root (which you will be if you're running it at startup) then su to user first so that the ssh client finds the right rsa key (otherwise it'll be looking at ~root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, which doesn't exist)
su -c "ssh -N -C -R 2222:127.0.0.1:5000 myhomepc.net" user

@Spanner,
I am trying to make the script run when there is a connect up, and stop running when a connection is down.
1. I have created a file called reverse_ssh.sh
2. chmod 777 reverse_ssh.sh
3. vi reverse_ssh.sh, entered the following line :
while true; do ssh -N -C -p 5000 -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22 woohoo.no-ip.info; sleep 5; done
4. Now when I do "ps" or "ps -A" I see the following :
2260 root 3868 S ssh -N -C -p 5000 -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22 woohoo.no-ip.......
Instead of seeing the script name in the command.
Any idea on how to make it so that it will show "reverse_ssh.sh" so I can later do a grep on "ps" to kill it on if-down ?

It's all working now! including scripts to start stop it when internet comes and goes!!!
It's not been easy. I will add a page to the wiki about this, and i'll post a link to that wiki page here.
Thanks for all the help spanner!

Hi,
I have a problem trying to use a reverse ssh tunnelling.
After this command:
ssh -N -C -p 22 -R 2222:127.0.0.1:22 myHostname.no-ip.info
I have this error:
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: remote forward failure for: listen 2222 connect, 127.0.0.1:22
Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 2222
All remote requestes processed
and I cannot connect to the Host from remote.
Many thanks for any suggest.

And iv'e searched google and freesshd forums for the errors and all sort of keywords yesterday. I'm pretty much stuck. (:
I'll see if I can make my dd-wrt router do this (: it is linux after all.
Edit : Oh Oh! I almost forgot! Thanks for the help (:
