sshd configuration problems on OpenBSD 3.3

Hello,

I am new to OpenBSD and am in the process of configuring a box for the first time. So far so good except for some troubles with sshd.

Currently, sshd works fine when I login locally such as 'ssh jim@localhost'. However, using SSH Secure shell from my windows box (ip=192.168.69.20), nothing seems to happen except for where it says 'Connecting to 192.168.69.21'. In other words, it never returns any output in the terminal window such as a password prompt so that I can log in.

Checking netstat on the OpenBSD box, I see that the incoming ssh connection is 'ESTABLISHED'. After the 120 seconds timeout period specified in sshd_config, on my BSD screen a message is displayed:

Jun 26 23:50:59 bsdtestbox sshd[1650]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 192.168.69.20

Checking netstat again after the on-screen message, the connection has not gone away and is still 'ESTABLISHED' until I close the actual window on the Windows machine.

In SSH Secure Shell, I have switched the authentication method to be both Public Key and Password with the same results. I have not set up a hosts.allow or hosts.deny file and I can fetch http files on the box from my Windows machine.

My sshd_config file looks like:

Port 22
Protocol 2,1
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
ServerKeyBits 768
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin yes
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
RhostsAuthentication no
IgnoreRhosts yes
X11Forwarding no
PrintMotd yes
KeepAlive yes
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server

Any pointers on what I should do from here would be greatly appreciated.
