Assuming your sshd server is on a computer attached 
to a router which is your gateway to the internet, and 
the router is set to forward port 22 to that computer
some ISP's don't route port 22 traffic.  I know that 
AT&T blocks port 22 traffic and it gives that message.  
I set the sshd server to listen on port 26 instead and 
it works fine.
