I am not too sure about that. My host machine has a dynamic ip assigned by
dhcp (generally someting like 10.0.0.*). I am able to do ssh -p 2222
10.0.0.14. It has one more ip in the range of 169.*. That also works. Its
just that it has trouble swallowing 127.0.0.1. From what I understand after
some googling, this is one of the security policies in ssh to not allow
connections to a known host (in this case itself) at a different port. So
its something on my host machine which blocks calls of this type.

The same concept seems to work well from windows (when I use colinux to run
my uml guest).
