I can ping server host name and IP from client.
I can ping client host name and IP from server.
I don't see any server specific entries in any of the .conf files on the server.
I don't understand what's different about this machine that it would need 
it's configuration added to a file with no other server info in it.  

Basically, if the Linux (backuppc) server has a .conf or .pl file with the list 
of servers being backed up, this server is in the file.
The Windows box has the Computer Browser service started, Firewall is off, ...

You don't have to guess at this - it uses whatever you configured.
Did you type the same thing on the command line to test it?   If that
is the difference, then you need to decide if you want a work-around by putting 
the IP in ClientNameAlias or /etc/hosts or to make your DNS work so the name 
also works from other systems.
