Shane;

Few things you can quickly try are as follows,

Look in /etc/hosts.deny for any entry like sshd: ALL

Perhaps, add sshd: ALL to /etc/hosts.allow

Post back with additional questions.

Hi Ken

Thanks for your help, this may seem like a silly question but I'm going to ask it anyway. Where do I find /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow?

Thanks
