Is the person's machine compromised? Is the server that you are
connecting to yours, just the wrong one? Or is it someone else's?

Some weird NAT (Network Address Translation) going on? Have you checked

I tried some random IP addresses: one that's one digit different; the
one I get by PINGing Google, and LOOPBACK.

LOOPBACK behaves as expected.

Everything else connects to the weird server, which at least looks like
it's running on a Unix or Linux box.
