You failed to comprehend what I wrote.

Put ALL: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny

Put the IP addresses (and services -- read man hosts.allow for the
syntax) that you need to access the box from into /etc/host.allow.

Done.

Again there is no need to run denyhosts on a computer that you access
only from specific outside IP addresses.
