So we can assume the machines are communicating, it's just ssh that does 
not work. (It'd be interesting to try some other service, though.)

See if there is any kind of firewall or access control, check the sshd 
configuration (try ssh'ing localhost from teufel to see if it works), 
see if ssh writes something to its log files, and also run

sshd -d -p 2222

and try ssh'ing to port 2222, and watch what sshd says.
