Quite a lot of configuration files have changed from 5.x.x to 7.x.x, beware.

Just a few questions for my understanding:

What does that mean 'I cannot access it from Windows'?
What are the other local IP addresses? Are they non Windows based?
What services do you try to access on the LEAF box? There is basically 
most of the time just ssh, possibly a web server.
