Hi MIke,
There are two problems most likely, imo... DHCP is giving you a new ip address
(either on the router or your ISP) or that our ISP simply does not allow you
to connect to port 22... This is common on port 80 but i am not so sure on
22.
try doing a traceroute on it, and when the trace dies, do an nslookup on that
site and see if that's one of your ISP's then call them up and bitch em out.
if you think it may be a dhcp problem try a dynamic dns service like
dyndns.org (I use it quite wonderfully, with a package called ddclient in
debian apt) If you don't have a domain name on your system this will provide
you with a free *.dyndns.org domain name, which again, quite nice
If these don't work for you, someone else will help :)
