I was trying to quickly respond all the answers last night.
Unfortunately, the internet speed of this broadband connection was
very slow from home (due to large distance of its BTS, base
transceiver station).
But here, I can do experiment as follows:

 > 1. confirm your global ip (e.g. here: http://checkip.dyndns.com)

Current IP Address: 120.166.xx.xxx
(successful).

This is just similar to the info from > ifconfig

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:120.166.xx.xxx  P-t-P:10.64.64.64  Mask:255.255.255.255

[root at localhost tasrief]# /etc/init.d/sshd status
openssh-daemon (pid  1302) is running...
[root at localhost tasrief]#

Connection to 120.166.xx.xxx 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!

The problem is, ssh does not work from another online laptop to to this machine.
Neither does ping.
