On the server, run

  chkconfig --list sshd

If they all say off, then

  chkconfig sshd on

That will make it come up at the next boot.  To see if it's on right
now, run

  service sshd status

If it's on it will say something like

sshd (pid 3271 1499) is running...

If it's not on, then run

  service sshd start

On a linux box client, from an xterm, run

  ssh <whatever_hostname>

On a Windoze box, you'll need to download and install PuTTY or
SecureCRT for a good SSH client.  Google for them.
