Are you running a firewall on either of the machines that could be stopping the connection?

Not to my knowledge. Does Ubuntu come configured with a firewall?

Not by default. I just thought.. have you installed SSH server on the computer you're trying to connect to? If not you can install it with the command:
Code:sudo apt-get install ssh-server

No - not unless you have installed an SSH Server like this.
