Reuben,

Can we start with finding out what you know?  What ROM are you running 
on your Z?  Is this an SL-5500 or SL-5600?

What is the complete output of ifconfig on your Z and desktop?  
Especially what does your Z show?  Use the Terminal or Konsole app.
Is sshd running on the Z (use 'ps aux').   Have you rebooted the Z?  
At a minimum lift the Z from the cradle for a minute and then 
re-insert it.
