In your original example you had "user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx". If "user" is
not root then you probably don't have permissions to bind to
low-numbered ports (with or without sshd).
If that's not it, I suggest running the server in debug mode
(eg /path/to/sshd -ddde -p222 to run it on port 222), point your client
at it and see what the reason given for the bind failure is.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
