And what exactly do you see for traffic in this case? Do not describe it;
post the tcpdump output.

Something happens. Time did not stop; you're just not describing what
happened. If no debug output ensues when you attempt a connection, fine
-- what network traffic occurred? Did the SYN packet arrive? If so, how
did the server machine respond? Did sshd get notified? If you don't
know, trace it and find out.
