Dynamic DNS - cannot connect

I'm a linux newbie so please forgive anything stupid I ask.
I'm trying to ssh to my computer which is running red hat 9. I have
cable internet which uses a Dynamic IP address. I have registered a
name for my computer with dyndns.org the name of the box is
cody.homelinux.net. I installed the update client JIP and it seems to
be working fine. The SSH daemon is running. ..But I can't connect.
Is there anything else I need to do? Please help. Thanks

What does it mean, "I can't connect"? Is the power out? Are your hands tied?
You'll do better by quoting the exact error message if any.

In /etc/hosts.allow :

sshd: ALL

Or mo' bettah, substitute the range of IP addresses from which you'll
connect, e.g.:

sshd: 128.227.0.0/16
