Assuming your wireshark filter includes X11, you should be seeing a X11 
connection request from 192.168.0.21 to the X server here.

Since the same X server version was working for you before (to a 
different IP address), I can only suggest you examine what else has changed.

You might want to check your firewall/network configuration.
