scp problems

[Michael Havens]

discoveries:
Computer A
1- it will ping Computer B
2- It will telnet to Computer B
3- it will scp to Computer B if I use Host name rather than IP address
computer B
1- it will ping computer A
2- it will not telnet  to Computer A
3- it will not scp to computer A using ipaddress or host name
4- discovered ssh service not enabled- ran 'sudo service ssh start'
5- still get a 'connection timed out' error
(I don't see why it would be listening on another port as I didn't
configure it to listen on another port
