Hi, Lines in the config file are commented, because they are the default values for each option. If you want to change a value, uncomment it, and change it.
Changing the port could fool some port scanners, not all. But its still a good addition to your security measures. Protocal actually spells Protocol, maybe this is your problem? and, yes, its a good idea to disable SSH1.

I also uncommented the line listing just Protocal 2, but that caused an error when I tried logging in.
