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.
