The best hint so far is:

"If you get the error Remote system error - No route to host, but you
can ping the server correctly, then you are the victim of an overzealous
firewall. Check any firewalls that may be set up, either on the server
or on any routers in between the client and the server."

Pings obviously work, but why no firewall errors anywhere...
