I'm running SLED 10.1. sshd is running (I can ssh to localhost) and I've opened port 22 for ssh in the firewall.

(I can access these computers from another laptop running Fedora 8 through the same wireless router.)
How can I determine what is going wrong? I've tried disabling the firewall completely (although it always seems to come on by itself) to see if it was blocking ssh. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
tcptraceroute could tell you where the packets are being dropped.

Red herring. Packets are not being dropped. He said he could connect thru the same router with other machines.
That doesn't mean the packets aren't being dropped when coming from this particular machine. I could demonstrate selective packet dropping with iptables and a few test machines, but you get the point, right?
He turned off his firewall, so its not his machine. The routers allow all other machines to ssh outbound. Therefore, baring any selective blocking of ssh at the router (which he would probably know about because the symptoms would include "no rote to host") you can safely assume there is no blockage.
