Tried but no different. I don't think the mediawiki installation has changed anything fundamental with the networking. The server functions normally when XOs and PCs connect wirelessly or wired to the eth1. I was wondering if the public folders part might be an issue... because the only difference I can think between the wiki and moodle is that Moodle exists at /var/www/moodle/ but the wiki at /var/www/html/wiki/ (i.e. one level down). Please note these observations:

These results I get when browsing with a PC on the external network

1.	http://192.168.0.210/wiki   fully accessible!
2.	http://192.168.0.210 gives “Server not found, Firefox can’t find the server at schoolserver.patukae.org” 
3.	http://192.168.0.210/moodle gives same as (2) above
4.	http://192.168.0.210/gibberish gives a prompt apache error "the URL /gibberish not found". Thus it does find something (i.e. compare with 2 and 3). 
 
My /etc/hosts file now
127.0.0.1               schoolserver.@@BASEDNSNAME@@ localhost.localdomain localhost
::1                     localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
192.168.0.210           schoolserver.patukae.org schoolserver
