Sounds like either you have iptables blocking traffic with REJECT or,
more likely, the ssh server isn't running.

Install the openssh-server package, if you haven't already.

Note that the ssh_config file only controls the ssh command, not the
sshd server; it's /etc/ssh/sshd_config that you want to be looking at
(and by default, it will set sshd to listen on port 22).

Cheers,

Paul
