[GTALUG] SSH Hangs

[Dev Guy]

Hi All,

I am having a real nagging problem with ssh. I setup dynamic dns so I could
I connect to my box from outside.

My basic setup is a router connected to a cable modem.
I've opened the firewall port 22 tcp/udp on my router.

However he is the problem I am having.

I can ssh into my box from inside my LAN like, ssh 192.168.0.100, works
fine!

However when I try to ssh using my dynamic dns (or the external IP), ssh
will hang and never return.

1) I've tried running my sshd in debug mode and here is the output
=====(SERVER SIDE)=====

debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

Connection from 192.168.0.1 port 48996 on 192.168.0.100 port 22


2) Here is the ssh verbose output
=====(CLIENT SIDE)=====

OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-8

As you can see from the server output the connection gets established, but
then the hang happens and I can't figure out what's going on?

Someone suggested that sshd might be trying to do a reverse lookup and to
add,

'UseDNS no'

to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting the daemon. This didn't work!

Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything for my particular problem on the
Internet.
