To see if the problem is an ssh one, when you ssh from another system turn on
verbose mode:
$ ssh -v -v -v pi@systemname
(Each -v causes more verbose messages.)

My suspicion is that something in your login profile is hanging the session at
login time, probably you're starting a program in your .bashrc which is just
stopping the login process. From a terminal on your Pi, try running:
$ bash -l -x
and see where the list of login code stops. That's probably where you're
hanging.
