Maybe the Linux box checks that reverse lookup is set up for the client and refuses connection if reverse lookup of the connecting client's ip does not resolve to a hostname that in turn resolves back to the client's ip. If that is the case the server does not actually try to connect to the client with SSH or otherwise. -- robin
