I am trying to setup one of my linux computers as an ssh server but I can't connect to it.

I have openssh-server and openssh-client installed already on both computers (client and server).

If I run sudo service ssh start, I get start: Job is already running: ssh, so ssh is indeed running. Also, ps aux | grep -i ssh returns

If I run ssh localhost on the server, I can connect. But if I try that with the other computer on the lan, it doesn't work.

I have samba shares setup and working, so I don't think its a firewall problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
Ok, got it to work, just had to connect to username@ipaddress instead of localhost.

Run nmap on the server both locally, and from the computer you are try to connect from, the post the output.
