Does the high-port forwad to port 22 on your PC? Or is the PC listening for ssh? See /etc/ssh/sshd_config for that one. How are you testing ssh'ing to your external IP address? Doing so from inside the LAN won't work - you're better port-scanning yourself by visiting Shields Up! at http://grc.com You can get a hostname which will resolve to your dynamic IP at http://dyndns.com - there are some free utilities which you can run to do the updating.
