Generally, you need to do two things: 1) Add the machines name (as it is known on the "2nd" network) to the /etc/hostname.<eap> file where eap is le1, hme1, or something similar depending on your hardware. 2) Add the machine name used in the step above and its IP address to /etc/hosts. 3) Reboot with a boot -r That should do it.
