What address does moondog resolve to on your server?  Are you sure
that you don't have a "127.0.0.1 moondog" line in your /etc/hosts?
(Don't use 'host' to check, use 'ping' or something, because 'host'
won't look in /etc/hosts.)

If you want the GUI to be accessible from other computers, you have to
pass an external IP to the --address option.

Hope this helps,
