First, do basic troubleshooting.  Does it work if you connect from another 
system?  Does your client work if you connect to a different server?  Does a 
different client (package) work from your client machine?  Does a different 
server (version?) work from your client?

Once you have isolate if this is a client or server (or interaction) issue, 
try to determine if it is a software or network issue.  Bypass your home 
firewall, for example.

Hope this gets you closer to the problem so someone can help you get closer to 
an answer!
