Thanks Avram, I finally got it working!  This time the problem with the 
connection being refused was because I was trying to ssh into the 
machine from another machine on my internal network behind the 
firewall.  When I tried to ssh into the machine from the external IP, it 
worked!  Why would this be?  Would i have to define something in 
/etc/hosts maybe?  Uncomment the line that says '192.168.0.0   
192.255.255.255' and reboot?

thanks
