Could you check your firewall rules, please ? Either ipchains -l or iptables -L should give you the rules. My guess is that you selected high or medium security during installation.
I did select high or medium security. I'll check the rules. After posting and reporting a bug, I thought that might be the issue. I'll check tonight when I get back to that laptop! Thanks! Is the installation manual draft online and does it cover these issues?
Assuming this was caused by the firewall settings because you didn't supply any further information.
