Be sure to download the right version of PuTTY. I think it would not run
altogether if you downloaded the wrong one, but nonetheless it's worth
checking. I remember using an NT workstation some time in the past. I came
across that as an issue.

Check Firewalls as already suggested.
Also, "Start..." -> "telnet" -> ENTER -> "open <IP ADDRESS/HOST NAME>"
(syntax may vary)

Try other methods of connectivity to know if you are denied access at
'SSH-level' or at network-level, as a matter of principle.

ISP may also cause the problem. Port blocking is not very uncommon,
especially in an environment where encryption is frowned upon or feared.
Contrariwise, unencrypted X forwarding was recently banned over here.
