SSHD Configuration question

Greetings,
I'm trying to get SSHD working on my desktop here at the office so that I can
access it remotely from home. I'm using Jaunty on both machines. SSHD is
running, listening on an alternate port, and is accessible if I do "ssh
localhost"
My problem is that I cannot connect to this box from a remote computer not on
the local network. If I try to ssh into this computer from another on the same
subnet I have no problem connecting. The connection will just hang, eventually
timing out; I never get a login prompt, nor do I get a denial of my login. I
can ssh into another computer on the local subnet and then leapfrog into my
desktop, so I don't think it's a routing or firewall issue for SSH in general,
and until I upgraded to Jaunty I was able to connect to this machine. Just for
giggles, last week I installed SuSE and the SSH worked fine with the exact same
setup.
To clarify: (192.168.1.11 is the machine in question)
ssh -p 2748 localhost works
from 192.168.1.2 ssh -p 2748 -l username 192.168.1.11 works
from 192.168.2.2 ssh -p 2748 -l username 192.168.1.11 does not work
from 192.168.2.2 ssh -p 2748 -l username 192.168.1.2 works
from 10.1.1.1 ssh -p 2748 -l username 192.168.1.2 works
from 10.1.1.1 ssh -p 2748 -l username 192.168.1.2 | ssh -p 2748 -l username
192.168.1.11 works
/etc/hosts.allow
# Allow SSH for me
sshd : ALL
sudo iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
It may still be some routing or fire issue, but I have access to that equipment
and so far haven't been able to find anything; and like I said, with a different
Linux flavor installed it works fine. Just wondering if there is any new config
or hidden default in Jaunty that might be getting in my way.
Thanks for any advice or information,
