Perhaps that's your problem...  do you have "ReverseMappingCheck" set to
"yes" in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file?  If so, then you cannot log in if
your IP address does not reverse-map to a valid hostname.  If your DNS is
wacky, this might keep you from getting in.

Check /var/log/auth.log and see if ssh is giving you any more info.
