Sorry forgot to mention that. I have all the ssh settings in my
~/.ssh/config and tramp-default-method is set to ssh. So always I
connect like this: "C-x C-f /remotehost:/path/to/file".

This doesn't seem to work. Whenever I do this, using ps I can see tramp
tries to connect like this: ssh -l user -e none remotehost. And
obviously the connection times out.

I tried the following in a minimal Emacs 24 session.

(require 'tramp)

(setq debug-on-quit t
      tramp-default-method "ssh"
      tramp-verbose 6)

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("remotehost.\+" nil "/ssh:%u@intgw:"))
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '("intgw" nil "/ssh:%u@publichost:"))

Then I tried to open a file like this: C-x C-f /user@remotehost:~/ RET

After waiting for a while I hit C-g to generate a backtrace (attached).

PS: I also tried using 'user' instead of %u without success.

Thanks,
