that means it couldnt contact it, either you got the ip address wrong,
or the ssh server isnt running on that computer.

you can look if if the ssh server is running with:
 
ps aux | grep sshd

and btw it would have been 192.168.x.x not 198

you can check what ip address your current computer has with:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
