What kind of error messages do you get? I am assuming if you are trying to login directly as root then you'll have to enable root login in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommenting PermitRootlogin yes. This is a big security risk to login directly as root let alone telnet. Also make sure it's not blocked by a firewall or port 22 is not blocked by your ISP. Only speaking from experience here as I've had a similar issue.
