I still am unable to connect to my external IP address using ssh, but
can connect fine to localhost.


I used netstat to check that sshd is listening:

$ netstat -ba | grep ssh
  TCP    liminal2:ssh           liminal2:0             LISTENING
  3972
    [sshd.exe]

The sshd.log file is empty.

The system event viewer does not list any errors, but does say:

"The following information is part of the event: sshd: PID 2996: Server
listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22."

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Make sure that sshd actually listens on this address (netstat). Also 
look into the event logs and /var/log/ssh (or similar).
