Never though of that good idea, yes they will forward port 22.

Will SonicWalls forward port 22?

If so, you can use ssh to forward ports 137,138, and 139
between the 2 machines.

Conversely, with that few machines, you might just
enter them all into the hosts and lmhosts files on
each machine-then they'll have the IP's already.
