sounds like connection, not an application issue.  look at your
interface stats..netstat -i or -e or ifconfig, netstat -k etc..all
depends on the OS.  could be a buggy link on that laptop..introductin
too many errors and so it can't negotiate.

fwiw.....
we'd want the sshd_config for the server side..the client rules on it
mean nada in this case.

I haven't been keeping up with the list..but the -v output you gave of
it timing out looks like a network level issue, NOT an ssh issue.  on
your powerboox run tcupdump -vv -s 65536 -w ~/bad_ssh_dump dst port 22 

then attempt the connects. send me the output, not the whole list, and
I'll let ya know.
