Hi,
I once had a similar problem: I wanted to connect to a computer behind a firewall that blocks everything... Here is what I did:

SSH-relay

Now, if I understood you correctly, "remotehost" will be your own box, and "Dad's comp" is the computer behind the firewall. You need a sshd running on the computer behind the firewall! Then you:

sarge_1# telnet behind_firewall
behind_firewall# ssh -R 10020:localhost:22 user@sarge
In a new window on sarge, type:
sarge_2# ssh -X -p 10020 user@localhost
Now you can use this sarge_2 session for running everything that needs X!
