Yes those are the main things to check first. It is basically the same on
all distributions to start ssh as root:
chkconfig sshd on
/etc/init.d/sshd start
To check for the firewall:
iptables -L
Feel free to ask me and I can help you get through this.

don't know what Linux distribution you have).
0. Do you have a firewall running? If so turn it off and try again.
1. Telnetd is not installed by default on many (most?) distros.
2. ssh requires that the server be configured. On Debian,
check /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Unless ssh is under
the control of inetd/xinetd, there should be an sshd process running
(try "ps -ef | grep sshd"). If not, start it (on Debian, this would be
"/etc/init.d/ssh start")
3. Can you connect locally, e.g., does "ssh localhost" work?
There are probably real Linux experts on this mailing list. Perhaps one
of them has some better ideas.
