Okay Enrique, Lisa wants me to issue some commands on the host machine. Is this okay to do?

You are looking to see if your iptables is up and configured to firewall ssh.  Dump the response in here.

Says your system is updated, if it runs?  Correct? <------------ Correct

Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file to be sure it has

"hosts:      files dns"

Then ping each server before trying to reconnect with ssh.

I am pretty sure that this will work now that you have them both on the same network.

Be sure you don't have any iptables running denying your port 22 on both servers!
