This means that either the service is not running or that a firewall 
between server and client does not allow the traffic.
Check the following: on the local host :
1) make sure windows or other software firewalls are off
2) open a "cygwin shell" and enter

telnet localhost 22

if you get an answer, the service is running. If you get an error, it is 
not running.

If the service is running, repeat from remote - you can enter the same 
command in a normal dos box.
If it takes a long time to get an error, there is probably a firewall in 
between.

HTH,
Jakob
