Yes

The four IPs are 10.1.1.60, 61, 62 & 63

I did it in hosts now. My hosts file in the server (malachite) is as follows:

---------------------
127.0.0.1 malachite localhost
127.0.1.1 malachite.emerald malachite
10.1.1.60 malachite localhost
10.1.1.61 malachite localhost
10.1.1.62 malachite localhost
10.1.1.63 malachite localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
---------------------

For the repositories I do use the IP of the network card connected to that 
specific machine. I haven experimented with computer names yet.

Interesting enough, if I ping from the server to a connected computer to the 
IP that it has been assigned, using, for example

ping -I eth1 10.1.1.91

I do get the correct response. Is not the case when I try to ping from that 
other computer back to the server.

Again, all works perfectly if I connect the computer to the integrated 
ethernet card.

Ideas?

Thank you very much!
