[RndTbl] trying to set up ssh at home

Hi folks!
My new understanding of networking is coming along, but still a little
shaky. I have been trying to set up ssh to work on my home machine because
I want to practice Linux stuff and access my PC if I happen to be away from
home on the weekends.
I've installed OpenSSH with success, and from my local machine I can "ssh
localhost" with success (127.0.0.1 works too, of course)
The problem is I am trying
ssh (my ip)
and I get "Connection refused".
This happens both from my parents' machine (in another town - Go Mom for
downloading and running putty), and from my own (that ssh is running on).
I suspect the problem has to do with my router, either regarding my rather
prudent settings (LAN connection must be authenticated, *and* have a
whitelisted MAC address), or more likely, I am missing something in setup to
allow incoming connections that get forwarded to my specific machine. This
is where my understanding falls apart at the moment... help?
I've got a linksys/cisco wrt120n
local IP 192.168.1.100
local router IP 192.168.1.1
internet IP in the 24.something range :)
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks!
