[CentOS] ssh failure from CentOS7 to Centos6

Hi,

I have a strange problem with a freshly installed Centos7 desktop
(most8pc25). I can't ssh to 2 CentOS6 servers, even with firewall
disabled on the client and on the server. But I can connect from the
server to the client, all in the same VLAN. I can also ssh from this
desktop to centos7 servers in the same VLAN or in another VLAN.

No idea about this problem.

On the server kareline (client is most8pc25), tcpdump says:
