Patrick,

I would recommend first consulting with the firewall administrator, as
setting up tunnels through firewalls is not always regarded by security
admins as a friendly action.  It may even be against your corporate
policy.

 : I'm totally new to this mailinglist so I apologise for all and any
 : profoundly stupid questions that I ask, but I haven't found what I was
 : looking for anywhere else.

Here's an example of using GRE tunnels ("ip tunnel"):

  http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.tunnel.gre.html#AEN333

 : I have one computer that sits behind a firewall and another computer
 : with a public IP-address outside the firewall. I would now want to set
 : up an ip-tunnel between these two so that they can communicate
 : "transparently".

If you need any sort of generic tunnel through which the two hosts can
communicate, you can also consider CIPE.

 : I'm desperate for this information as I _need_ to be able to access the
 : computer behind the firewall from the the one with a public ip.

Have you thought of using ssh port forwarding?

-Martin
