Are you going through a proxy or firewall to access the internet?
You may well have to force ssh to listen on another port.

i.e.: edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sshd listen to more than
just port 22. Then restart sshd.

I suggest port 8080 but if this is not accessible then try 443. That will
definetly work.

You then need to use "corkscrew", edit your .ssh/config and add the
following line to one of your login accounts for ssh use.
OK I thought I had an example on a box here, google for corkscrew and you
will get it.

Then connect as follows:
ssh -p443 ipadress-of-server

Thats it. Done & dusted.
