Cannot connect to any services on 10.4.11 Server

[dekskinner]

Hi

My mail server crashed with a corrupt disk.

Rebuilt it with new disks, so now I have a clean install of 10.4 server fully patched to 10.4.11 running on a dual G5 Power Mac.

I have restored a mail backup via mailbak.sh.

Mail server comes up fine. I can connect to the mail service locally via telnet hostname 25 etc and send mail from local connection. Mail server is located in a DMZ along with other machines all of which are accessible from my LAN. However the rebuilt mail server will not accept any external connections at all : not from machines in the DMZ and not from machines in the LAN – no connections can be established.

Firewall application on the server is not running. I can successfully ping the machine from the LAN and DMZ.

I’ve even started the web server on the machine in desperation and I can’t even connect to that.

Looks like the machine is blocking any form of incoming communication.

Any ideas?
