/etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny do not list any machines whatsoever.
Is that OK? Maybe this stuff is in another file?
As for iptables, I tried two or three times to read the relevant
chapter in RH Unleashed, and never got the concepts straight (I was
not trying very hard though). Maybe I should try again.
iptables isn't likely to cause this problem; if you block the packets
sshd won't see them, and your client will either timeout or get
"connection refused."
I'd also verify that you are using the correct username from your laptop.
If you aren't supplying one, it will likely default to the xp username. If
that user doesn't exist on the RH box, you'll get a Permission denied.
I guess that is the equivalent of `is the power on'. It is :-)

Try putty. It's another Windows ssh client, the one I generally use as
it doesn't require any other software.
