By that you mean an external firewall?

If the answer to my above question is yes, then you have to enable sshd use of
port 22 on Windows XP's own firewall. Otherwise, I don't know, but "connection
refused" means something is listening on that port and refusing connections so
you should start by looking out what is listening there (netstat -ba | grep
ssh), if it is Cygwin's sshd then check your configuration /etc/sshd_config .
