If it works from the (keyboard) alias console right now, then check the network settings, maybe the default firewall is blocking port 22 for ssh. If that is not the case, check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for any content. also check /etc/securetty maybe tty1 to ttyxx are missing from it. :-) Cheers Szemir
