(Solved) OpenSSH not working (but dropbear does)

I'm trying to connect to an ssh server via password authentication. Nothing fancy at all. This is what ssh -vvv shows:

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to <<host>> port <<port>>.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1
debug1: identity file /Users/animalmagic/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1

Then nothing happens.

I've tried running different versions of openssh on different distros and nothing seems to work. However, other clients like dropbear or PuTTy work like a charm.
What am I doing wrong?

New clue: I'm able to connect to the server from inside the LAN with openssh client. From outside, only other clients work.

Solved! The DoS protection offered by D-Link DI-524 routers interferes with the way the openssh client negotiates with the server. Turning off this option solved the problem.
