Does telneting to hal9000.us.tel.com port 4005 work?
I have a swank server listening on port 4005. telnet times out:
> telnet hal9000 4005
Trying 172.17.57.205...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

 
Why don't you
connect to SWANK via the SSH tunnel you've established?

If you mean by slime-connect, it times out. 

If you mean by telnet, it works:
> telnet localhost 4005
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
