Lets try a couple of more options.  First, change the Advance Options  
to:

-LinkMode Listen -LinkProtocol TCPIP -LinkHost 192.168.187.99

This change will allow the OS to determine the port number used for  
the link.  In addition, MathLink will display a dialog box that tells  
you the name of the link that it created.  Write that name down.

Change the shell command to:

ssh tsariysk at 192.168.187.99 math -mathlink -LinkMode Connect - 
LinkProtocol TCPIP -LinkName `linkname`

Now when you start the Kernel, log in to 192.168.187.99 in another  
terminal window.   From the command line run:

ps axwww | grep MathKernel

( the arguments to ps may be different depending on your flavor or  
Unix.)

Verify that the -LinkName command line argument to MathKernel is  
actually the same value as the value you gathered from the dialog box.

Send me what you find out.
