So:
ssh G5 -> G4 = yes
ssh G5 -> mini = no
ssh G4 -> G5 = no
ssh G4 -> mini = no
ssh mini -> G4 = no
ssh mini -> G5 = no

 From each of the hosts, in Terminal, telnet to each of the other 
hosts with a 2nd argument of ssh (or 22).
     G5-prompt$ telnet G4-hostname ssh
     G5-prompt$ telnet mini-hostname ssh
     etc

For the first, because it works you should get something like:
     david at ivdg4:191: telnet ivdpb4 22
     Trying 192.168.0.7...
     Connected to ivdpb4.
     Escape character is '^]'.
     SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.8.1p1

     Protocol mismatch.
     Connection closed by foreign host.
You need to hit return where the blank line is.

If you don't get such a response in any test, investigate any common factor.

If the telnets all work, report back what the text of the response to 
a failing ssh is.
