Is there an entry that looks like this?

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:* 
LISTEN      0          7036        854/sshd

Look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find the Port option and make sure it 
says Port 22.  In fact you could post that config file without the comments.

And it should be sudo service ssh status and that should show the -D 
service running.
