First thing I'd check is the iptables rulesets. An overly paranoid
firewall could cause this to happen. Second thing I'd check is the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config , to make sure that sshd is listening on that
interface (or all interfaces) and port 22. "pgrep sshd" returns a
PID, right? If it doesn't, there's your problem right there.
