Sshd does not care about the IP of the machine it's running on. All it
does is listen on a port.
Ssh stores the hostname/IP in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. If the IP changes, ssh
may prompt you to accept the host keys again (although this mostly happens
if using raw IPs to connect).

My ssh/sshd installation has broken twice. After noticing that IP
addresses had changed, I read about DHCP and suspected that to be the
problem. I'm not a programmer, just a dumb engineer who normally counts
on setup.exe (or in this case the installation scripts) to take care of
all the sysadmin stuff.
What I am getting, with a formerly working installation, is:
$ ssh sony06
ssh: sony06: no address associated with name
I have reason to believe, from previous correspondence with this group,
that my installation is flaky. I did not reinstall then, because at the
time it was working. If I reinstall by means of the scripts, is ssh
expected to work without periodic maintenance? (Just within a home
WNET using a wireless router with DHCP.) How should I proceed to ensure
a clean reinstall?
