In these sorts of situations, I haul out the packet sniffer.

So fire up wireshark on your guest, and on the host it is running on.

If you have access to the host you are ssh'ing to, run it on that too.

Try to connect and examine the packet flow.

Follow the packets out, follow the responses back.  It is probable
that somehow response packets are not coming back, perhaps something
to do with the routing on the host.

Even though your working setup isn't quite the same thing, run the
sniffer on that first so you have some idea of what it should look
like.
