It sounds like you have changed distro's or re-installed a distro on the 
machine you are connecting to and that it now has a different key. If this is 
the case and you trust that this is what has happened, then on the machine 
you are connecting from, go into where your keys are stored and delete the 
one for that particular host you are trying to connect to. 

Hope this helps...
