If I may bend the ears of some of you IP gurus...

We have a gateway machine that I want to run X clients on
which responds to two different IP addresses.  When I use
xhost on my machine to enable the gateway machine, one of
the gateway's addresses is given to my X server.  Then, when I
run a client on the gateway, the client opens a connection
to my server and reports the gateway's *other* address.
It's got to be network configuration problem and I was hoping
someone could explain where each machines gets it's idea of
the gateway's address and how to fix this.
