cannot connect to server with ssh, firewall setting is correct

please provide me the following details

1. lsb_release -a
2. dpkg -l | grep -i ssh
3. netstat -anp | grep :22

Hi, Subin,

Thank you ;) 'netstat' and 'dpkg' were the 'give away' programs.

The system I was working on has had an ssh server installed for so long, I guess I forgot it isn't installed by default ;(

Installing the Openssh server package fixed it, of course.
