1st thing: if you don't already have sshd installed, try:  apt-get 
install openssh-server (that probably should start it as well)

If it's just not running, try: /etc/init.d/ssh start

Then make sure that your init files are set up properly:
- check /etc/inittab to see what your default runlevel is (probably 2)
- check /etc/rc2.d (or whatever your default is) for a file something 
like S16ssh (to start ssh at boot time)
- if it doesn't exist, then you need to install an init file (sorry, I 
forget the magic incantation to create init files)
