You are probably trying to access services on the localhost via the  
name of your outside IP, rather than via localhost.  I would gather  
than you are running NAT somewhere.

You can set up /etc/hosts so that name refers to the inside IP addr,  
or set up split DNS.  Another way would be to add an alias of your  
outside IP on the machine...
