It took me some effort to get it to connect with manual values as hands-on networking is quite difficult in Windows these days (and who thought APIPA addresses were a good idea? That is the one way to absolutely guarantee that a computer can't connect to any network). With a bit of packet capturing, it appeared that isc-dhcp-server on Wheezy was sometimes using 127.0.1.1 as a source address during DHCP negotiation, which Windows 8 (rightly in my opinion) took exception to. So I lost the 127.0.1.1 entry, without any obvious problems. I saw a while back in the thread that exim4 may use it, but my exim4 has been very firmly told what FQDN to use, and it isn't the server's. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
