I have tried to connect remotely from the node and from putty and get connection refused...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Are you denoting the right port? I forgot where it is in putty, but it should be pretty apparent.
Things to check:
On the server,
-ensure that ssh is actually running.
-ensure that it's listening on the port you think it is
Code:
netstat -a |grep [PORT NUMBER]
On the client
-ensure you can ping the machine, assuming ICMP packets aren't blocked
-ensure you've actually set the port right.
Other stuff:
Is there a firewall blocking the port?
