sshd definitely running?

Check the output of ps -e | grep sshd (on the server, not client)

Secondly, make sure TCP Wrappers isn't blocking connections.

What's the contents of /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny? You will need to make sure ssh is allowed in them. The following should work in the allow file:
sshd : ALL : allow

 

[.walls]

First off, can you ping the server (desktop, whatever - if it's serving, it's a server), then see if sshd is running. Second, see if iptables is blocking it. Third, see if tcp wrappers is blocking it.

There's a bunch of other things, but they're the obvious ones.
