I have been told this is a DNS issue.  Your server (that you are connecting 
to) is looking for a reverse DNS or a PTR record for the host you are 
coming from.   I would think that as a quick test...put the entries for 
your machines in /etc/hosts (man hosts?) on both machines and see if this 
fixes the problem.  It can be a temp fix but you could keep those entries 
there permanently too and it should be a perm fix if you don't want to mess 
with DNS.
