bitcoind --connect=192.168.0.4 not working

Hello everyone!

I installed the satoshi client on a second local computer. Since I don't want to download the entire blockchain again, I tried to connect to my old computer with "bitcoind --connect=192.168.0.4"

Unfortunately the client doesn't open a connection to my other pc.
Since "telnet 192.168.0.4 8333" is working, I don't think that I have any connectivity problems. If I start the client without the connect option, the client works as designed (of course without an actual block chain).
Does anyone know what could cause my problem?

OS: Linux 3.0, Ubuntu 12.04
client version: 0.6.2-oneiric0

TIA
