Ill. Firewall steadfastly refusing to accept incoming connections, even when told to. Since it's not logging the rejections, I can't even find out which part of the config is wrong. About to venture out of house in search of honey. Still hoping to be OK for cinema tonight. Illness has apparently caused highly terse writing style.

Which is not to say I'm ungrateful for the help you and Richard have offered here. On the contrary, I'd have had great difficulty eliminating the firewall as a cause of my oddness without it. Just that I'm somewhat at a loss, since I seem to have no options that don't involve a large amount of work for possibly no benefit and I'm ill dammit, and am therefore having a grump. I honestly hope it doesn't seem like the grump is targetted at you two and apologise if it came over that way.

Nah, it didn't come over as being directed at us :)

Given that I don't use FireHOL, I'm unable to debug it directly. OTOH, I can (or could: I'm rusty) write IPtables directly, so I might be able to tell you what's wrong, if I had the whole set of rules. And then we'd have to work out what FireHOL config was setting that up. Can't think of anything else to usefully suggest without access to the machine :)
