It should be a DNS issue. Try adding the connecting host to the
DNS or to /etc/hosts

It doesn't matter. The server needs to resolve the address of the connecting
host.

Also check if you're ARP table is full. It happens once in a while
when there's a virus or the local network has too many hosts.
(fake ARP requests fill out the ARP table with incomplete entries).
Try "/sbin/arp -an | wc -l" and if you get more than 200 lines (or so,
i don't know what the exact turning point is) you might have to play
with the Kernel's garbage collection parameters for the disposal of
ARP addresses.
