Is Suse causing my ssh problems?

I cannot get other hosts to login to my machine remotely. It works
fine locally. Its an ongoing problem that I posted about on other
groups over the last year.

I have residential ADSL. I moved to another city and switched
providers, yet still have the same problem. I've used 8.2 and now I'm
using 9.2 pro.

Nmap local (x.x.x.x) for IP:

 /root> nmap -p22 localhost

Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-02-28
11:29 BRT
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.134
seconds
[linux(root)]

I can log on locally with a test account. My friend remotely tested
but could not. My friend running fedora kindly ran this for me on his
remote machine:

    [root@nortlamtwo Crossover]# nmap x.x.x.x

Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on xxxx.user.veloxzone.com.br (x.x.x.x):
(The 1600 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: filtered)
Port State Service
113/tcp closed auth

I can log on to my friends machine - he unfortunately is not using the
same provider.

I have thought that maybe my ISP is doing routing tricks - that this
ip may not be my IP. But I went to this site to get what remote
servers think my IP is:

http://www.html-kit.com/e/browconninfo.cgi

Its the same I get from ifconfig .

I'm running vanilla suse - I haven't teaked anything. I'm beginning to
think _possibly_ this is a suse issue - maybe turning off remote
access by default?

Any ideas highly appreciated.
