But I may be completely wrong. I can only suggest that you check your /etc/hosts file. There should be the entries for your hostnames and IP-Addresses. I've found that wrong entries in there often cause problems like the ones you describe. Not only with X but also with sendmail, samba, ssh, etc. Generally, /etc/hosts seems to be underestimated by most people and admins I know... But don't quote me on that.
