[Leaplist] SSH Ports

[Gray Frost]

I changed the port to xxxxx in the /etc/ssh_config  file and rebooted.

I get a "Connection refused" error message when I try to connect to the
computer.  I got the same message when I tried connect to "localhost" as
well.

mycomputer at serenity:~$ ssh -p xxxxx mycomputer at mydnsaddress.dyndns.org
ssh: connect to host mydnsaddress.dyndns.org port 50022: Connection refused

If I reset my router port back to port 22 it works fine.
FYI:  Ubuntu 8.04

Do I need to change/open anything in my etho card settings?
