YA SSH newbie

[Michael V. De Palatis]

Quick question: Do you have a firewall enabled? (e.g.,
firestarter). If so, that may be blocking ANY outside computer from
connecting to ANY port on your Ubuntu machine.

Can you at least ssh into the machine from the machine itself? If that
is the case, then most likely your firewall is blocking the port from
being accessed.
