As the client seems to be waiting on the server and the server on the client... could it have been caused by this in /etc/hosts (what our IT department configured): /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback i.e. the client has sent its request on IPv4 and the server answered on IPv6? I will remove the word 'localhost' from the IPv6 addr and restart everything, or do you want to see any additional inforation?
