Have you read through Linode's guide on connecting? http://library.linode.com/getting-started#sph_log-in-with-ssh-using-microsoft-windows
Failing that, have you tried the Lish console (which allows you to connect out-of-band when your Linode's networking is broken, so that you can go in and fix it)? http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/using-lish-the-linode-shell
I can login ok with Lish, but I cannot connect with Putty. The port used is good as I double checked sshd_config – urok93 – 2011-09-21T16:17:36.660
Did you ever resolve this one? Just curious... – Rob Cowell – 2012-09-10T08:40:56.647

Its possible your port 22 is not open. Please try opening it with terminal command "sudo ufw allow 22"
sounds like you may either be connecting to the wrong host or on the wrong port. Connection is usually refused if a machine is up, but your trying to access it on the wrong port or your being firewalled – madmaze – 2011-09-21T15:22:02.323
