The hosts file for the trouble machine:

----- begin hosts ------
127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	hostname

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
----- end hosts -----

I'm not sure what the '127.0.1.1' line is for. it's not the IP of the machine, 
which receives it's IP via DHCP served from a Debian (Etch) router/firewall. 
I tried commenting out that line and adding the dynamic IP, but it had the 
same result.
