Hmm, ok so putting your server directly on the net is a REALLY bad idea... you should change that. Unless this is some one off hosted service.
But at least it should make it simple, and you should only need to open port 22 to that interface and go off from there. What distro is the server? You can show us your iptables output ("iptables -vnL") and also actually confirm that ssh is running with a "netstat -plnt".
How do you get into this box at present if you can't ssh to it?
