Check the way each machine is recognized by the other. You may have an
authorization file '/etc/hosts.allow' refering to a DNS domain (like
ALL: .local.domain) while address for your machines can not be resolved
through the DNS. To check that the source of your problem, try putting
en 'IP / hostname' mapping in the /etc/hosts of your machines for the
other machine.
