SSH hangs with blinking cursor

Exactly what the title reads. If I attempt to SSH from my computer (host1) to my file server (host2) the result is a hang until "connection timed out" with SSH. The connection was working earlier today, I can ssh fine from my cell phone both on wifi and off - the only client that has an issue is the computer I'm sitting at now. I have tried deleting ~/.ssh and ssh-keygen again, but nothing has changed thus far - here is a log of ssh -vvv username@host2:

OpenSSH_6.2p2, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to array [192.168.1.121] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug3: Incorrect RSA1 identifier
debug3: Could not load "/home/xaero/.ssh/id_rsa" as a RSA1 public key
debug1: identity file /home/xaero/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: identity file /home/xaero/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1
debug3: Incorrect RSA1 identifier
debug3: Could not load "/home/xaero/.ssh/id_dsa" as a RSA1 public key
debug1: identity file /home/xaero/.ssh/id_dsa type 2

debug1: identity file /home/xaero/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/xaero/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1
debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.2
debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_6.2
debug1: match: OpenSSH_6.2 pat OpenSSH*
debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent

It hangs on that last line.

Edit: Even more confusing:

I run two http servers on the home server - one from a minecraft plugin and the other from deluge for the webui - I can access neither of those locally, nor can I access the minecraft server locally - they all hang similarly to ssh - however if I access them via the remote URL that points to my external IP address - they work fine. Including ssh. I'm stumped as to what to try for fixing this...

Re: SSH hangs with blinking cursor

Sorry for not reading the hole thing, but maybe you are using SSH v1 on the server, you should disable it and use only v2 , normally this issue is due to this problem (of course if the host or server firewall allows you to make the connection).

Re: SSH hangs with blinking cursor

That's not the issue the debug reports that the protocol version of the server is ssh 2.0. Problem still persists to this day, I have now switched back to an OpenWRT based router again, and it still continues. Not sure whats going on.
