No problem! You've explained your problem better than many native

As others have indicated, you will want to use the -R and -H flags on
the tcpserver command line. If your machine cannot find it's own name
through a DNS lookup, you will also want to add -l0 to tcpserver's
command line. That's a lowercase 'L' and the digit 0.
man tcpserver for more information on all three of those flags.
