Can you ping the host? What happens if you telnet to the machine
port 22? You should get a banner:
allan@vent:~$ telnet localhost 22
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-4

To me it sounds like you have a firewall between you and the host
that drops your packages. The only thing specific to Linux is
iptables, and as root you do:
iptables -nL
to see if there any rules are defined.
sshd, by default, will do DNS lookups on the client hostname. It
will sit for a while, but then I usually still get a login
prompt. You disable that behavior by adding 'UseDns no' to the
server you are trying to connect to in
the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
