Do you have telnet installed ?
have you enabled it ?
can you telnet in as another user sucessfully ?
you leave things rather open to assumption.
personally, I believe that the reason it is not working is because you
have not painted a really big target on your arse yet with the words "Hack
me !" scrawled over it.. but then.. thats just my opinion.. :-)
oh, and PuTTY is a good alternative to SecureCRT if you need a windows
based ssh client and cant afford to pay for SecureCRT (which IMHO is worth
the $$ you pay for it)
