What you say makes sense. The IP address turns out to be my web hosting service's name server. Apparently SSH first reaches this DNS to convert the domain to an IP address. > If you want to log into hosts on your local LAN, you need a dynamic > DNS service (dyndns.com is the best known), which associates an IP > address with your domain name while you are online.

But the whole situation strikes me as odd. Surely innumerable people rely on a web hosting service to provide email services as well, and yet it would seem none of them can use ssh to acccess a home or office machine remotely without going through extraordinary gymnastics regarding their IP address. An obvious step would be for me to find out what my hosting service has to say. If I get a simple answer, I'll report it back to this thread. Thanks.
