SSH connection time out

Hi,
I have cygwin installed on my XP box with sshd service running.

"ssh user@localhost" works fine for me.
However, "ssh user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" does not.  in the latter's case the
ip is my machine's IP (the same one that i run ssh user@localhost on).

The error is: "ssh: connect to host 198.168.0.102 port 22: Connection
timed out"

Now i have done the following:
-ensured my firewall is allowing port 22 traffic
-added port forwarding for port 22 in my router.

anyone have any idea why localhost would work, but using the machine's
ip?  I'm assuming if the machine IP does not work, then the WAN (remote
ssh) won't work either...which is my ultimate goal..as i would like to
offer users remove access to my local CVS repository

thanks much.
