it's an isp in china:

p@satan% whois 61.220.0.0

inetnum:     61.220.0.0 - 61.227.255.255
netname:     HINET
descr:       Data Communication Business Group, Chunghwa Telecom Co.,
descr:       Commerical ISP
descr:       21, Section 1, Hsin-Yi Road, Taipei,
descr:       Taipei 100, Taiwan, R.O.C.

so there's no way to describe this network in a hosts.deny file other
than something like

ALL: 61.220.
ALL: 61.221.
...
ALL: 61.226.
ALL: 61.227.
