Whoops, I made an error.  The ubuntu server is at IP address 192.168.0.110.

the Debian box is 192.168.0.108, not 0.3...

The error I see from backuppc says: ' HP-PC-XP is a DHCP host, and I do not 
know its IP address.  I check the netbios name of 192.168.0.108 (e.g. the 
Debian box that is running backuppc) and found that that machine is not 
HP-PC-XP.
Until I see HP-PC-XP at a particular DHCP address you caon onl start t his 
request from the client machine itself.'

Sorry for the confusion
