The reason I think this is the problem is the post where you said you could log in after a very long delay. About the only thing that can cause a very long delay is the system waiting for DNS responses on

The IP address looks like what you would get from a typical home router, so that's probably OK. A quick test for DNS would be the 'dig' command. If it quickly returns a screenfull of root nameservers and addresses, then DNS is not the problem. If it doesn't, then check what you have in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
dig returned a lot of root nameservers instantly.
Nasty thought: in one window, run tcpdump -A port 50, and in another, try looking something up, say, nytimes.com, something obvious. See what's going and coming.
