SSH Server issue

[KnightCrawler]

I have a SSH server hosted on my desktop in BackTrack 5 r3 64-bit. I m able to access the ssh sever from the LAN using my laptop but when I try to access my ssh server from my office using the public IP it doesn't work. The connection just pauses with no response.

Command: ssh -v xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p22

What all I have tried so far:
1. Port forwarding in the router for Port 22.
2. Allowed port 22 in iptables.
3. Nmap result on private ip shows port 22 open and for public ip it says port 22 filtered.
4. ssh-keygen to generate the keys. I had also used sshd-generate before but now when I try to do sshd-generate I get "sshd-generate: command not found"

If I stop the sshd and open netcat using "netcat -lvp 22" then using "http://www.ping.eu/port-chk/" to check the status of port 22 I get the incoming packet detail in netcat output. But when i start sshd on port 22 and try to login using public ip from my office computer I cannot connect to my ssh server computer.
Keeping the sshd service running and then trying to check for port 22 status using the above mentioned website I get port open. But still I cannot connect to the ssh sever using my public IP.

hi
if you can help:
I did a test between my "ssh-server-BT5-r3_32bit_VM" && my "" ssh-client-smartphone "
-server connect to my home-router with eth0 (ext-IP: 74.4x.xxx.xxx) [adsl provider-A]
client-connect with 3G (ext-IP: 37.2x.xxx.xxx) [adsl-provider B]
-distance 14 km
my steps:
SERVER BT5-r3:
# sshd-generated
# application> backtrack> service> sshd start
# Port forward my router port 22 to my BT5-r3-VM (192.168.1.7)
CLIENT smartphone (Android):
# download & open ConnectBot (free-app for ssh-client)
# connect root@74.4x.xxx.xxx ........
enter password: toor ............
when the connection is established is our beloved root-shell

I "played for about 40 minutes without losing the connection"

what does your /var/log/auth.log show when you attempt to login to SSH from public IP?

I tried the same but it's not working for me.

Thank you everyone. The problem is solved now. The problem was with my office computer some issue on the office's network side. It worked flawlessly when I tried connecting from my friend's computer.
I should have figured it out when "www.ping.eu/port-chk" said that the port is open.
