I addition to the other suggestions, sshd uses /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny.  Check that they are configured to allow your remote 
machine in.  By default sshd puts messages in /var/log/secure,  look there
to see if sshd is actually seeing the attempted connection.

Also, if your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has VerifyReverseMapping turned
on, you will get kicked out if your remote address does not work with
a reverse dns lookup
