Is sshd running on the computer you are sshing into?
what about your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files?
is there a firewall on either machine blocking access to port 22?
check /var/log/messages on both machines to see what if any the errors
are.
can you ping each machine from the other machine?
can you connect to the other machine with nfs or samba?

etc
