I think you might need to set multiple ip in your windows/host which
means one ip address same as guest os, it's not the best solution, but
it is let you go ahead with ssh, maybe, hehehe!

Hi Tech

Yep I use the same, first depending on what access you have you need to
allow port forward on your router i.e. for ssh it is port 22, you have
to place a route in that transfers port 22 to you PC (IP). Then to allow
you to connect in case your external IP changes you also need to have
some form of Dynamic Dns service personally I use DynDNS, this will give
you a free Domain Name and you can then use domain name.
