I think it is Tony. Looking at the routing table. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default bigdog.my.home 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Maybe try a more verbose ssh eg. ssh -v -v etc I leant this from a very good Sysadmin. If you can, open up telnet on the box you're sshing to (I know, I know, its not secure). telnet in, run sshd manually in the foreground then from your other box, ssh to this other box and see what sshd spits out.
