Let's recap: you can "ping fooserver" and it answers, but "ssh foo@fooserver"
is dead --> have you made sure that fooserver has an ssh daemon installed
and running? (in Debian that would be the package openssh-server).

I don't understand a couple of things:

which one: the fooserver or the client you are trying to access it
from? Most probably not related to your ssh problem, so it makes
sense to tackle that separately anyway.

You can access it with "ssh -v ..." and not with "ssh ..."? That dosn't
make sense for me. Is that possible that you are only seeing the attempt
on your side? What's the output of this "ssh -v ..."?
