Firewall issue

[Michael Sullivan <michael at espersunited dot com>]

I hope someone can help me.  I'm using Cygwin on an old PC with 1.2gig
hard drive and 24MB RAM (pathetic I know.)  I'm using the PC as a
holding area for backups so that I don't have to write the backups to CD
every day.  The network card in the PC is a Kingston Etherex card, and
it's not very widely supported on a Linux that fits on 1.2 gig with so
little RAM.  Anyway, I've hooked it up to my network and installed
Cygwin, though I don't think I have enough space for all of it.  I want
to be able to run sshd so that my server PC can copy its daily backups
over to the Cygwin PC, but every time I try to ssh from the server PC
over to Cygwin, I get a "Connection refused".  I'm not familiar with
Cygwin's firewall; I'm used to using iptables and there doesn't seem to
be an iptables package available on the Cygwin setup program.  How do I
fix this?
