Another Network Qestion

All,

I hoping for some advice regarding my COX networking setup. Here is what I
currently have:

                @Home Network
                     |
                     |
             SB3100 Cable Modem
                     |
                     |
               (24.14.xx.xx)
            shingletowngap.org (dyn dns)
     Debian Linux doing IPMASQ and PORTFW
               and firewall
               (192.168.0.1)
                     |
     +---------------+---------------+
     |               |               |
    Suse           Debain            |
    Linux          Linux             |
(192.168.0.2)   (192.168.0.4)   (192.168.0.3)
                     |
                  postfix
                   apache

I have some forwarding rules set up to forward port 80 and 
port 25 to the mail/webserving machine.  The other machines
are just my development box and my girlfriend's laptop.

The problem I am having is that when I want to send mail 
to a mailman list on the mail server from the SuSE box, 
I get "Connection Timed Out" errors.  If I send a mail from 
some external machine, it gets routed to the mailman 
program and it goes out onto the mailing list as expected.

The same happens with web browsing.  If I want to look at
the sites on the webserver from my SuSE box, the connection
just times out.  But if I look at them from some external
computer (say from work) then it works fine.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong with the 
network setup?

Thanks in advance,

julian

 And if cynics ridicule freedom, ridicule community...if "hard nosed
 realists" say that profit is the only ideal...just ignore them, and use
 copyleft all the same.
