This is the way it works. The list has an attribute called web_page_url
which is the result at list creation time of plugging a domain (often
DEFAULT_URL_HOST but can be different depending on how the list is
created) into DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN giving something like
'http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/'. This has two effects. If
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = On (the default), the list will not show on
the listinfo page if the host of the listinfo page is not found in
web_page_url. '192.168.x.x' is not in
'http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/', so the list doesn't show on the
192.168.x.x listinfo page. Also, web_page_url is used as the base for
links on the list admin pages, so all the links are relative to
web_page_url, not to the current URL.

The double password may be a cookie issue.
