Just off the top of my head, check that your DNS is working.  My guess
is that the sshd is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup, when you have the
network configured.  It takes a looooong time for a DNS lookup to time
out.

Try the ssh, wait at least 30 seconds (the DNS time out, IIRC).  If it
succeeds then, it's likely DNS related.
