That's probably because that IP address is behind a firewall...

Wow, running nmap was an awsome idea (thanks)! Just look at this output:
"
Starting nmap V. 2.30BETA17 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on (63.196.197.254):

What do you make of that? Nothing's open on port 22??? Yet I have the
"ListenAdress" variable set to "63.196.197.0", and now I've even set
hosts.allow to ALL:ALL, and hosts.deny to <null>. Not to mention that
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd status == running...
This is really odd...?
