I finally set up my old computer as a linux file server and i have no problem connecting to it from the inside... I set up the portforwarding using port 22. However, when I try to access it from the outside it says that the port has been disabled for security reasons... or closed for security reasons... I have no idea whats wrong... could it be that my ISP is blocking that port so noone can run servers and such from home?!!!!

What exactly are you doing and which program "says" that?
Yours, VB.
could be SuSE firewall or ISP blocking. try

and you 'll now about ISP and check SuSE fw. :-)
that is a probability. To verify, move your sshd to some port > 1024, open that port on your firewall and port forward accordingly.
