Hey guys thanks for the dialog... here is my nsswitch.conf configuration that I have used for years.

Aug 11 2006 /etc/nsswitch.conf

Code:
"/etc/nsswitch.conf" [Read only] 42 lines, 1293 characters 
#
# /etc/nsswitch.dns:
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it uses
# DNS for hosts lookups, otherwise it does not use any other naming service.
#
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the
# /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports.

passwd:     files
group:      files

# You must also set up the /etc/resolv.conf file for DNS name
# server lookup.  See resolv.conf(4).
hosts:      files
ipnodes:    files
# Uncomment the following line and comment out the above to resolve
# both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from the ipnodes databases. Note that
# IPv4 addresses are searched in all of the ipnodes databases before
# searching the hosts databases. Before turning this option on, consult
# the Network Administration Guide for more details on using IPv6.
#ipnodes:   files dns

networks:   files
protocols:  files
rpc:        files
ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
bootparams: files
publickey:  files
# At present there isn't a 'files' backend for netgroup;  the system will
#   figure it out pretty quickly, and won't use netgroups at all.
netgroup:   files
automount:  files
aliases:    files
services:   files
sendmailvars:   files
printers:       user files

auth_attr:  files
prof_attr:  files
project:    files

Please describe your network.

Is this a corporate setup?

Where is the DNS server? Local or remote?

@hicksd8 DNS is not used according to nsswitch.conf.
@kingdbad is your ssh client entry present in your server's /etc/hosts file ?

Old 05-09-2013
What command are you using to initiate the connection?
(Does it include a nodename or ip address?)

@jlliagre.....with no DNS configured and no /etc/hosts entry surely it wouldn't be just slow to connect, it wouldn't connect at all.

It would certainly as it does.
Have a look to the logs. Even while redacted, is appears the client uses an IP address to connect to the server.

Yes, I have the IPs that are connecting to the server in my /etc/hosts file, but before this weirdness started I did not have the client IPs in my /etc/hosts and it was working. I just added them in there recently to see if it helped at all and it did not. I am also connecting to the server always by it's IP address never by domain name or anything.

I have also checked my nic settings

Server is set to
Interface Speed Duplex
--------- ----- ------
bge 100 Mbit/s full

Router is set to
speed 100
duplex full

Grrrr!

I hope you have a backup. It looks like "them" are the culprits. Not us. Meaning your problem is external. Unless you think those changes are vital try to revert.

Without knowing a lot of stuff I need to know to really help:
Try traceroute to see how you route to a known node that used to work.
If you notice a large delay or *** in your output, those may be nodes that do not support traceroute. Normally nodes in a given domain trust each other.

This suggestion is fraught with assumptions, BTW.

That might be someplace to start a dialog with the windows/network people 'what happened on node xyz?'
