Trial and error. I'd start with making sure sshd is running on the target machine. Usually (depending on distro), # /etc/init.d/sshd status will tell if it's running or not. If it's not running, # /etc/init.d/sshd start should start it up, but only until the next reboot. The method of making it persistent depends on the distro.
