Sorry I can't make sense of that. "allows access from all others"
doesn't seem to reconcile with "no services from the outside world"
Sorry - I should have said "all others on the local network, but no .. "

Which services are you talking about? ssh? sendmail? imap? pop? ftp?
rsync? http?
Basically all.

Http to start with, but I have proven that it is something other than
the http server's config because a connection using a pair of netcat
instances on port 80 fails too.
