Neither am I, but this was given to me on this list a few weeks ago when I 
first posed the same questions:

Open port 22 on both computers for initial setup, either:

in system-config-firewall, unclick and click ssh, apply and restart 
iptables/ip6tables, or run (better):

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

Restart sshd.service.

Verify that the port is open:

sudo iptables -L | grep ssh
sudo ip6tables -L | grep ssh
