I'm having a really annoying problem on my Ubuntu laptop.
I noticed it today, after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, although I'm not entirely sure this is the cause as I played with my ssh keys a few days ago.
The problem is, whenever I try to ssh to ANY host I get the following error:
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
running with -vvv gives the following output:
OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

My /etc/ssh/ssh_config:

I can connect to my laptop from any other server via ssh, and I can also ssh localhost from my laptop successfully.
I can connect to all these other server from other laptops, and I don't see anything in the logs of the other servers regarding my failed attempt.
I tried to stop iptables, didn't help.
I tried several tricks I could find online with my /etc/ssh/ssh_config, but I was unsuccessful in solving the problem...
Any ideas?
Edit:
This is the log from one of the hosts I try to connect to:
