running a suse file server from behind a linksys router

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?!!!!

that is a probability. To verify, move your sshd to some port > 1024, open that port on your firewall and port forward accordingly.
