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 connection to 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.
