• Once installed you have to enable the service as well through services. Preferably make the service Automatic to avoid future manual interventions.

Open

• Now you should be able to telnet Windows Server on port 22 from outside as well.

• In case you are still unable to connect, preferably check if the port is enabled for connecting from external systems. There could be any firewall/security related issue as well.
