This "[known ip-address]" is one that I connect to regularly using PuTTY (which I also have installed on my laptop) and it gives me no problems. I'm not sure if this is relevant, of course.

Try:

ssh mauricio@[known ip-address] -p 22

That will set the SSH port to the standard 22 rather than the non-standard 2222. That's probably what's going wrong there.
