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 :)

I begin to wonder if randomized sigs really accomplish anything.
