very slow ssh connect?!

[Leif Hanack]

hello,

i have set up a cvs-server on a linux box. inside our LAN the connect over
wincvs clients is prompt and fast.

after shipping this server into the internet everything slows down. why?

it seems as if a connect/authentification takes 20 seconds and more!

the client i used is:
SSH Version 1.2.14 [winnt-4.0-x86], protocol version 1.4.

the server i used is:
Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 Debian
1:3.0p1-9

here is a sample log:

C:\>ssh -l <user> <server> -v
