You really havn't provided enough information to allow proper diagnosis
of the problem (eg. sysconfig/rc.conf/rc.local files).

However, the main areas I would look at are DNS and routing.  Make sure
that reverse DNS (IP -> Doamin Name) is working and that all systems and
reach each other.  There are traceroute gateways that you can use from
outside your network to make sure that you are globally visible!

Eg.	http://bs.mit.edu:8001/cgi-bin/traceroute
