Hi, I'm kinda new to this list but I had the same problem when I've upgraded from 4.5-release to 4.7-stable.
about the ping, I'm not sure if you have any f/w on ur network or you've installed ipf by default try ipfstat or ipmon. concerning ssh, make sure your hostname is configured correctly if ur using a DNS, with the correct reverse, gethostbyname() will hang ssh with no errors (from what I've seen) if your IP has different dns entries or wrong reverse hostnames.. hope this helps u get somehwere, Ed.
