Leave those as is.
then on the client do
$>sudo ifconfig
to get the ip address of the client; then log into the server and add
a line in
/etc/hosts with the client's ip address hostname and alias
http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap9sec95.html
Also helps to check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to see if you
have blocked yourself somehow, e.g. if you do hosts.deny ALL then
nobody gets in without an entry in hosts.allow
Lots of documentation available on this as it's a security matter,
just google on /etc/hosts and hosts.allow
