Probably a routing problem. sshd would tell you when the connection is
attempted.

ssh -v -p 2200

Can you ping and traceroute the machine from that host you are trying to
do the ssh connection from?

Can you lynx to that machine (if it has a http service)?

Most likely this is not a ssh problem.

Also make sure you don't have any packet filtering anywhere that is
stopping this.
