Since you do not have a dns server available on your network, you may have to use the physical ip address of the system, not the system name...hopefully you're not using dhcp for your ip address. Set it up for static ip...especially if it's on the same router as your windows box.

Your /etc/hosts file should have entries like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntuhome

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts


The errors you posted look very much like you don't have ssh server setup on that system.
Yes, I do. I even used ssh on my server to connect to my school's and had no problems.

All of what cat /etc/hosts shows is..
Code:
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.1.1    ubuntuhome

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Only differs by the extra localhost ?
