If you are using ssh2, then I think your problem can be solved
by setting RequireReverseMapping to No in the sshd2_config file
of the host you are trying to connect to (don't forget to restart
the daemon). I had a similar problem and asked the group's
advice. This was one solution. There are others, and you can
probably find some earlier discussions on this in the archives.
