Yeah... that's it all right. The guy who runs the local LUG here told me how 
to disable iptables to test and once I did that, I was able to get right in. 
Now, all I need to know is how to enable SSH and still have the rest of the 
iptables running! I'm afraid I never learned how to write iptables (or 
ipchains for that matter) rules.
