</div>Being bound to 0.0.0.0 usually means it will listen on all interfaces<br>
for connections. As long as 192.168.0.5 is the only IP address you'll<br>
use to connect to this machine, there's harm in changing the listen<br>
interface as you did.<br>

</div>Have you verified that the ssh daemon is running? I'm not familiar<br>
enough with Ubuntu to know where it keeps startup scripts, but you can<br>
check for sshd by running `ps uax | grep sshd` or `netstat -ant | grep<br>
192.168.0.5:22` from a terminal.<br>
