Generally, the ssh daemon (sshd) should open the port for you.  To make 
sure you are _actually_ using port 22, take a look at 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.  Here's what mine looks like:

13:32:45pm # cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# Package generated configuration file
# See the sshd(8) manpage for details

# What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for
Port 22

If you're using a firewall, you won't be able to get through unless you 
open the port.  In /etc/default, you should see a firewall config file 
(I don't remember the name of it...).  Open the file and you should see 
OPEN_TCP_PORTS.  There you can add port 22 and the firewall _should_ 
allow incoming tcp connections on port 22.
