Not to mention:

The server ip is 192.168.1.13 (server)
The host ip is 192.168.1.122 (dragon)
Both of these addresses are assigned statically.

And:

/etc/hosts
===============================================
127.0.0.1       dragon.localdomain      dragon
::1             dragon6.localdomain6    dragon6
192.168.1.13    server.localdomain      server
===============================================

Your /etc/hosts is wrong. 'dragon' should be set to 192.168.1.122 *on both 
machines*.

Also check that 'server' address is 192.168.1.13 *on both machines*.
