What sort of message are you getting when you try to connect to the services. 
Is it a case of connection accept and then the connection is closed, 'no route
to host', or just nothing happens.

If you get a connection and then it closes, you might like to check your tcp
wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny) and make sure that you are
permitted to connect from that host without any problems.  If you get a 'no
rote to host' then it might be the result of a network error in existence
between the network that the machine is on that you are trying to connect from
and the machine at the remote end, and if it is a case of your packets going
no where, then I would think that for some reason there is a firewall which is
preventing you access from your box.

If you can provide some more information about the behaviour that you are
getting, it should help us track down the problem.

See ya

Dean Thompson
