No, I understand you perfectly.  The fact that you can ssh to other 
machines is inconsequential in your debugging.  You want to make sure 
that things are set up properly to allow you to ssh *into* your machine.

steps I suggested will help you do that.  It's worth the effort considering
the alternative.
