Which leafnode version are you using?  This is the first report in a long
time.

It's not related to the IP or bound address, but the computer's hostname.

I *guess* that turning on the virtual ethernet interface also changed the
hostname (check with the hostname command) and/or how the actual hostname
resolves.  What is the virtual ethernet interface related to? Some virtual
computer (VMware/VirtualBox/Bochs/...) or plain networking stuff?

Please give details on your network (particularly with what tool you
configured the virtual eth' i'face, and what configuration it wrote to the
system configuration files) and name resolver configuration, and do
include the output of "hostname" and "hostname -f" when the computer is
non-working.
