i just sshed to ssh.sanger.ac.uk and it connected just fine, so it looks
like you have something going on thats blocking access to the machine in
question. Of course I couldnt connect, but i had to add the host to my
known hosts and it asked me for a PW, etc.

If you are at work, there is most likely a firewall in place blocking
outbound access on everything but a very few select ports (port 80, etc).

can we get some more details on your setup?
