Can you access the server inside your LAN?
As to why, quick qoute from
http://forum.portforward.com/YaBB.cgi?num=1116587665
This will test whether the server is configured correctly. If you can’t log in locally like this, no one from the Internet is going to be able to log in either.
If not, you got issues. Like perhaps..
#1 This server is not running/listening ?
#2 The server is running/listening, but not on that port ?
--
#3 The server has been compromised by bad/evil/malicious software ?

Yes, I can access my redhat pc from inside my LAN by SSHing to it. Works no problem.
Does anyone know what these settings are under Port Triggering? These two cover the entire IP range. Could they be an issue? Didn't want to touch them since I didn't know what they were.

#1 After testing locally, did you try logging off of the SSH Server?
For example.. The Telnet Server built into one of my print servers is very picky.
If I just end the connection without first logging off the next time that I try to connect to it, I can not connect to it. I first need to uplug and replug the power supply.
#2 Somewhere in the router, you saw the same IP Address that is at http://www.whatsmyip.org/ ?
#3 Did you tou try using the DMZ for testing reasons?

1. After testing locally, yes I exited by logging out (typing exit) from the linux box. I did not just close it.
2. The router reports the same external IP address that I see when I go to http://www.whatsmyip.org
3. When you say DMZ, do you mean did I turn off all security (set it at wide open)? Yes, I did that for 20 minutes to see if a port showed open when I turned off security all together. It still showed closed and still didn't let me in. I turned the security back on immediately after the test was complete.

Have been having the same kind of issues described her.
Finally found an anwer.
My router is a westell a90-9100em but as far as I can tell not much different than the last one we had for verizon or the one before that.
Instead of trying to set up the port forwarding directly go the Advanced page
open protocols page.
Go to the bottom of the list and click on "New Entry"
In service name add the name of the service you are wanting to install
Same in service description
Click on New Server Ports
Add the ports you need just as you would in "Port Forwarding"
Close out and go back to the port forwarding screen
Add new entry
Select from the drop down list your newly added protocol.
Finish
I spent hours trying to figure this out. This is what finally worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well.

No, I've done the entire "create your own protocol" bit and it didn't change the outcome.
I've used both already provided protocols/ports and custom created ones all with the same issue.
I'm running a red hat linux pc, running redhat 4.0.1.

I have the exact same problem. UDP connections get forwarded just fine, but TCP connections do not. I have confirmed this by attempting connections from another location (office), and UDP packets get back and forth no problem. TCP connections only work if initiated from my home machine, indicating the 'port forwading' is not forwarding the incoming TCP connections. Outgoing connections (which do work) don't depend on the 'port forwarding' setting.
Everything worked with old router (Actiontek), but that one had hardware fail ( would not even power on ) and replacement router refuses to forward TCP connections.

I do not know yet about the other user's issue, but I think I know what is going on in your case.
#1 If the router has UPnP turned on, please turn that feature off.
#2 And please check if you are using the port triggering feature of the router.

I'm running a red hat linux pc, running redhat 4.0.1.
I wonder it is because of a firewall on the PC?
Maybe it is not that, but something is very weird. I am also very puzzled...
