    I must be in an exceptionally dim mood today. I just noticed that my
    laptop, on which I am writing this, is not accessible from other boxes
    on the network. Ping, nfs, cups are all failing to connect. Must be
    something I have upgraded, I suppose. hosts.allow has all the usual
    entries, I can ping out to the network, and send mail normally through
    my firewall machine to the adsl router. Name serving seems to be
    working, though I cannot check with dig as it is not installed on this
    machine and I never did find what package provides it.

    I cant at the moment think what to look for next -- quick hint anyone?
