Excuse me for asking a stupid question in response,
but do you have the ssh daemon running?

If you type

netstat -tpan

into a root shell on the Knoppix machine,
you will see if ssh is running.  If the output
does not mention sshd, you need to start it
by typing

/etc/init.d/ssh start

(also in a root shell) on the Knoppix machine.
Or from an xterm or konsole:

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

By default, Knoppix does not run any services that would
allow you to connect to it -- this is a security feature.
