[paramiko] SSHException: No suitable address family for xx.xx.xx.xx

[Min Kim]

I just recently started using paramiko. I'm running Python 2.5.4, paramiko 
1.7.5 on Windows XP.  Below is a very simple script I wrote based on a 
guide, but I keep getting the (SSHException: No suitable address family 
for xx.xx.xx.xx) exception, where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP I'm trying to 
connect to. The IP is of an off-site network which forwards port 22 
connections to an Ubuntu computer.

from paramiko import SSHClient, AutoAddPolicy

OFFSITE_IP = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'
PORT_NO = 22
USERNAME = 'username'
PASSWORD = 'password'

ssh =   SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(OFFSITE_IP, PORT_NO, USERNAME, PASSWORD)


I've used this sort of script from an Ubuntu computer to another Ubuntu 
computer in the same network, with no problems. If anyone knows anything 
about this exception and why I might be getting it, it would be very 
helpful. Thank you.
