Could you be a little more verbose? Please?

What's the output of "netstat -nlt" on the SSH server? What does your
sshd_config look like? (please remove any line starting with a # before
posting it) What does your network look like? You have a local network
behind a NATing router? How is the router configured? Does it forward
any ports? Which? Whereto?

No. The default is to listen on all interfaces.
