What capabilities do the gateway and Server have?  RIP?  Despite what IP 
addresses you set for the ethernet interfaces, it matters what routing 
you setup.  Also is the ethernet communal or separate(are all of the 
above on a thinnet-10b2 common segment, or is it twisted pair-10bT 
between the gateway and server, server and clients.  Is there a ether hub
between the server and the clients?) 
Sounds like you have different ether segments so here is what a model 
might look like:

gateway                server                  clients
ethernet interface     ether interface
xx.yy.zz.1<--------> 1: xx.yy.zz.2
                     2: xx.yy.zz.3<----->xx.yy.zz.??         
routing:
xx.yy.zz.0 255.255.255.0 xx.yy.zz.2 

                       routing:
              (default)0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xx.yy.xx.1
                       
                                              routing:
                                      (default) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xx.yy.zz.3


Hopefully the server is capable of RIP otherwise you might have to do static
IP routing on the server to the various clients.
