Subject: Chooser is Strange!

I am running pre-asun2.1.4-38a_test on a Red Hat 6.1 box with kernel 2.2.14
on a 100 Base-T network. I have several boxes running this configuration
and up until now have not had any problems. Let's call my machine LINUXBOX.
Here's what's happening:
I have one SGI box running IRIX and an Apple protocol service called
"Xinet". Let's call the machine BIOINFORMATICS. When my linux box shows up
in a Mac chooser and I click on it to log on, and the applet displays
"Connect to the file server 'BIOINFORMATICS' as:"
Now, I should see LINUXBOX instead of BIOINFORMATICS. If I choose to log in
via TCP/IP then I get the correct logon information showing up in the applet.
If I shut off the Xinet program on the BIOINFORMATICS machine and attempt
to log into LINUXBOX, then all is fine and dandy. Weird, huh?
What I don't understand is what a Mac looks at when the user decides to log
onto a server via the chooser. How is it thinking that BIOINFORMATICS is my
machine!?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.
