Is an SSH server running on moose?
What about the firewall? Is port 22 open?

Can moose resolve your client's hostname from its IP address?

Oh, and I can't add remote printers.
Again, I enter what is needed and
I get no response.

That looks like a routing issue or switching weirdness - the path back to
your host seems to go nowhere.
What does nslookup with the server moose as "server" say for your host?
Do you use different subnet masks, or some kind of MAC-based port security
on the switches (and your box got relocated/replugged)?
