I think you've been caught by the same thing that got me yesterday.
Look at this list's archives for yesterday and today for more discussion.

Make sure that either your firewall is _really_ turned off and/or
that SSH is now a 'trusted' service.

use:

/usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel

to find out and adjust iptables accordingly.
