I gave you an example of what I wanted, not sure what is hard to understand about examples?
Did my example show what you showed for netstat? Your showing the bottom part of it, what we need is the top where it shows what your listening on.
do a netstat -nl | more
This will stop at the page break.. What need to see it that your actually listening
You can ping, so you have connectivity. if your actually listening on the 22, ie the service is running and you have connectivity and you don't get a ssh prompt/connection when you try and access. Then you have a firewall blocking it, either at your laptop, or the desktop?
If you sure your pinging the correct box -- ie does the MAC match??
Once you can ping your desktop from your laptop.. Then look at the laptops arp table, and look at the mac of the desktop IP you pinged. Does this match up with the actual mac of the desktop? You can view that in an ifconfig command
So from I am pinging my my ubuntu box at 192.168.1.7
Notice I get a reply and then look at the arp table
C:\Windows\System32>ping 192.168.1.7

See it says mac of 192.168.1.7 is
192.168.1.7
00-0c-29-dd-02-ba
Now if I look on my ubuntu box with ifconfig it shows that as the mac of my 192.168.1.7 interface
budman@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig

So I am POSITIVE that when I ping, I am actually pinging my ubuntu box, and not some other box -- because you got the wrong IP, or have duplicate IPs, or since your wireless your on a different wireless network, etc.. etc.. etc..
