Don't know about Windows :-)
I added a check for sys.platform != 'win32'. Does Zope 2.8
use all IP addresses by default on Windows?

Don't know about Linux, but two tests fail on WinXP now:

I commited a workaround for the problem. Not a total clean
solution...at least no longer a stopper for the Zope 2.8 release.

I tracked this down to the bind() call in medusa.
bind(('localhost', 8080)) binds only to 127.0.0.1:8080.
If you pass '' as hostname then it binds to all interfaces.
I assume we must change the default hostname from
'localhost' to '' somewhere (I assume in lib/python/ZServer/datatypes.py)

Fred. Could you please look at that issue. This is the last
remaining showstopper for 2.8a1.
I did my own investigations but got stuck at some point.

Uploaded:  "z27_z28_zconfig.patch"
 - http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1507/z27_z28_zconfig.patch/view
Attaching a diff of the Zope.Startup.handlers and ZServer.datatypes code between the 2.7 branch and the HEAD.

I *think* that the change to 'preparep to use the new
'get_default_host_info' function is the culprit here.

Fred's checkin message for the transaction which added that change says:

 r24547 | fdrake | 2004-04-26 15:44:45 -0400 (Mon, 26 Apr 2004) | 4 lines

 Medusa wants the IP number, not the actual hostname, so give it that
 way.  We do more work up front, but this makes the pieces go together
 more cleanly in the end since expectations aren't fudged.

Fred, can you figure out why we don't bind to all interfaces anymore?

It seems like you have the same problem, but it just decides to connect only to 127.0.0.1, while in my case it decides to connect to another address. 

Just tested 2.7.3b1 and that works, so it's only only on the trunk.

Where there some changes lately on the SVN trunk?
The current checkout only binds to 127.0.0.1 but not to all
other IP addresses.

When no ip-address is specified in zope.conf, 127.0.0.1 seems not to be picked up. I can access Zope through the other IP-adress but not 127.0.0.1 or localhost. This worked with Zope 2.7.2.

If I set up an ip-address in zope.conf:
   ip-address 127.0.0.1
then 127.0.0.1 works, but of course not the other one.
