The ifcfg-lo is for local self-conection so it is understandable that
box9 can't reach box6.
You will have to create ifcfg-eth1 if you have a wired connection.
Mine looks something like this:
DEVICE="eth1"
HWADDR="00:14:22:2A:3B:FE"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
ONBOOT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
I have one VM on my laptop and two dev boxes - all serving out sshd,
nfsd, and smbd - on which NM's running with only an ifcfg-lo file.
Furthermore, since the boxes can ping each other and there's one-way
ssh access, the presence/absence of an ifcfg-* file isn't issue.
I'd focus on troubleshooting sshd on box6.
