The problem I'm having is that when I run a server on my Debian Linux

I can get to the outside world just fine, it's just connections coming in
on the NIC that always get refused.

It sounds like you don't have these services listening on externally available
interfaces. Some servers are designed to listen externally by default, but
(afaik) Telnet and MySQL are not among them (and for good reason).

Anyway, a
netstat -tunva
will give you a rundown of all connections, and will list anything that's
listening and where. If it indicates that MySQL really is listening for
outside connections, then there is something legitimately odd going on here.

But, to get those services to listen externally, you will need to edit their
configuration files in the /etc directory.
