I don't see anything in either that stands out as wrong, both machines are 
plugged into the "LAN" ports of the router?

Try "arp -a" on both the client and server, and see what returns.

If the arp command does not show the other machine, try pinging the other 
machine and rerun the "arp -a".

And can you both ping and ssh both directions?  client -> server and server -> 
client?
