issue, do you get a time out on the connection or???

Perhaps it's a DNS issue, I've timed out after my username once
when DNS was not functioning (off by one error with the IP I
placed in resolve.conf).

Have you looked in auth.log to see if there are any error
messages like fatal time outs, etc.?  Perhaps using verbose,
-v, will show something.

Sorry for all the debugging options, but I'm not sure if you're
timing out, failing on authentication, or something else.

Thanks,
