I did that and got:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 9876: No route to host

(I tried as user mark and as root and got the same message both times.)

But on the same machine when I do ssh 192.168.1.2 it asks for my
password (for the other machine) and when I give it I get logged in with
no problem. (And doing ssh 192.168.1.3 on the other machine also works
fine.)
