OK and you've indicated that sshd is running.  A few other thoughts:

1) Is there a firewall running on your machine that could be preventing
   the connection?

2) Is there a firewall running on your *client* machine that could
   be interfering.

3) Log into the FreeBSD machine and see if you can ssh to localhost
   to just to confirm that sshd is working.  If that works, try sshing
   to the same machine using its IP, and then its address to make sure
   DNS is resolving properly.
