This "other computer on your network" is wired to your W2000? It is a local network? Did you use an internal IP to connect?

You need to provide your external IP to the ssh client. YOu can find this IP in your W2000 box by typing the command ifconfig in a cmd window. If the IP you obtain is not what you expected, (i.e, you get another internal IP), then probably your router has the "true" external IP,and you have to setup your router to forward the port 22 to your W2000 machine.

You dont need to specify any port in the ssh client command line, as long as your ssh server uses the standar port (which is 22, as said).
