Check for reverse DNS resolution. That will cause ssh to "appear" to time out. It usually will connect after the DNS times out, something like 120 seconds (2 mins) usually. This is a quick way to check it out:I have a problem accessing specific server. I have couple hosts on my network running ssh on various ports. If I try to ssh into my favorite host it times out, however if I try another host on the network it works fine. On a secoond note, if I try to access my network from a different IP I have no problems accessing any host om my network.
I have cleaned out my ssh_known files and there are no firewalls running on the host in question.

No I am not trying to use port 66666. Does anyone think maybe my ISP is blocking certain outgoing port numbers?

host 1.2.3.4 # (use your IP address)
This should return something like this:
1.198.42.209.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer bobjr.joyner.ws.
It's entirely possible that the reason one hosts works but the other doesn't is something like a hosts file entry, different DNS servers, a lack of DNS servers on the one machine, etc. If you can't track down specifically why the DNS doesn't work, post back to the list with what works and doesn't and perhaps we can track it down. :)
