Having ALL:ALL in your /etc/hosts/deny file means deny any ip address that is not in the allow file. You should make sure that the IP address of the machine you are connecting from is in the /etc/hosts.allow file, and possibly the entire subnet. You can also just comment out the ALL: ALL line in /etc/hosts/deny.

Interesting that makes sense. I'll look into it tonight. I have a question though, why is it that I can access Samba shares on my windows client attached to the linux server?

I don't know, it might be because it uses a different configuration file. Just search for hosts.deny.

Can you try and open a terminal and run

Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Exec\putty.exe" -v -ssh user@192.168.x.x

Where "user" is the peppermint user you're targeting and replace 192.168.x.x with the network address of the targeted computer.

Then just post the output and we may then see where the problem comes from.
