The /etc/hosts file on the server was the problem.
I've fixed it and got the client working.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Old /etc/hosts from the server (oak) which was broken:
127.0.0.1  Oak  localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1  fw fw.basement.local
192.168.1.2  oak oak.basement.local
192.168.1.3  dot dot.basement.local
192.168.1.4  maple maple.basement.local
192.168.1.100  HP4050N HP4050N.basement.local

New /etc/hosts on the server (oak) which works:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 fw fw.basement.local
192.168.1.2 oak oak.basement.local
192.168.1.3 dot dot.basement.local
192.168.1.4 maple maple.basement.local
192.168.1.100 HP4050N HP4050N.basement.local
