Ok, since I am still running an all Debian shop here I decided to do some homework. Depending on how you did your installation, Debian does some basic tools installs like iplogger, tcp/udp/icmp monitoring, and some basic firewalling for standard RFC listed IP ranges. ie. incoming on 10.0.0.0/8 Take a trip over to /etc/init.d and look thru there for anything that either references a TCP/IP type command or has some rules in it for ip[masqadm/fwadm/chains] and try unsetting them. Or post a "ps axwww" from the machine and we can go from there.
