In prior mail posted my hosts file and hosts.conf

The configuration is I have an internal network 192.168.100.xx that this machine is on.  There is a server that has a
connectionto the internet and I use it also as a gateway for the internal network. 

To my knowledge I do not have not installed any fire wall on this machine, basically this is a stock Debian install
from'unstable'.  I will gladly give more information if you can tell me specifics you are looking for.
