I've been able to ssh from my machine out to other machines every day
for the past umpteen days, but last night, something must've changed.

I can't ssh out from my machine anymore! Here's what happens if I try
to ssh into any server (I've tried two of them, both which let me in
just fine if I use putty from a windows client here at work). I've
replaced my username/server info with generic stuff but other than that
it's a direct paste:

$ ssh -v myserver.com

......and thats it! No login prompt, nothing! It just hangs here
forever! The same thing happens if I try to use the -l switch and enter
as a user...it sits here and hangs until I Ctrl+C it.

I am behind a router, but I've been able to successfully connect to the
server using another (windows) machine on my network.

I am running Ubuntu Dapper (6.06LTS),

I should also mention that the same problem occurs if I type in an IP
directly, so I doubt it's a DNS issue....

That's no guarantee as the problem might be the server doing a reverse
lookup on the address of the client.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Having been hit with the same issue, I googled around a little and
found this bug report:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/63479
which appears to show the same bug in action. I am also able to ssh
out from tty1, but not from within kde (Ubuntu Edgy Eft).
