Hi Julian,

Why on earth is sshd trying to contact your router for an identification
string? According to that and this site here
http://www.webservertalk.com/archive94-2005-4-128286.html, it suggests
that there is something odd with your loopback device or localhost
configuration (perhaps firewall, default gateway or something else).


Kind regards,

Mark.
