Ok, partly cleared: m0n0wall doesn't list machines in leases that have fixed IPs assigned. The other box recently got a new NIC and the MAC filter didn't match it hence it got an ordinary dhcp lease and appeared in the list. Why m0n0wall does this is beyond me.
Anyway - still haven't figured why three debian boxes see each other by hostname but as soon as kubuntu comes it it's blind. I know, kubuntu issue most likely but still I'd like to know how debian actually resolves with no DNS server on the local net around.
