In anticipation of the next response:
- please execute a restart of the SSH service after you have completed
the change below.
NOTE: In stock COS installs, the UseDNS entry is commented out and
has the default Yes value -- un-comment it (remove the leading #
character) & change the Yes to a No
- The command in COS to restart the sshd service is: *service sshd
restart*

Eric is spot-on .... it is a DNS issue (usually because the DNS name
you use [or IP address] in the SSH client command to connect, doesn't
resolve backwards).
The easiest fix is on the server end:
Change the default SSHD setting to NOT attempt DNS reverse lookups.
The file is: */etc/ssh/sshd_config*
The entry is: *UseDNS no*
Enjoy!
