Problem Port Forwarding SSH to Non-Standard Port

i have airport extreme router , have enabled ssh sharing in system preferences. when go airport utility-->network-->port mapping, , put in these settings:

remote login - ssh
public udp ports: 22
public tcp ports: 22
private ip address: 10.0.1.5
private udp ports: 22
private tc ports: 22

i'm able ssh no problem. however, if want use non-standard port (i've tried several different port numbers), this:

remote login - ssh
public udp ports: 2222
public tcp ports: 2222
private ip address: 10.0.1.5
private udp ports: 2222
private tc ports: 2222

, ssh using ssh -p 2222 ...

get: ssh: connect host ... port 2222: connection refused


doing wrong?

 

you either need have sshd listen new port 2222,
or, use standard port 22 private ports
