define "login"...
terminal login ? login with GUI (vnc etc) ? what are you trying to do ??

for terminal login (telnet, ssh) you will have to have a telnet\ssh server 
installed, open ports for connection (23 for telnet, 22 for ssh) and a client 
on the side you are calling from.
you cannot connect to a fake ip (your 192.168.x.x) you will need the external 
ip address of your cable modem.
after doing that, you can read the iptables man page and learn how to create 
rules in your iptables for direct connection to your other machine (port 
forwarding)
