what you should _not_ have done is tell the world you have changed the
port number to 2222 ;-(
I changed the port I ssh into on my VPS and put a couple of lines into
~/.ssh/config as below
Host IP address
Port xxxx
Host Domain Name
Port xxxx
that saves the need to use the '-p port' flag to ssh.
Did you restart sshd on the remote machine?
