People can ping my server just fine, however trying to access any services (web, smtp, pop3) are futile. Yet, they can ping it. There isn't a kern_securelevel, so I dunno if that'd be it (I don't even know if that'd be related). However, I can access the services just fine on the network here. It just seems that anyone outside my network can't access it. Any ideas? Things I can provide to help figure it out? > > > Are you running something like ipfw or some other firewall.
