I'm unable to connect to my EPIA-800 box running FreeBSD 5.0 RC-3. 
Connecting to servers FROM the box (for instance browsing the web with 
lynx) and ping works just find.

I'm running 2.0.43 of Apache, not sure what version of sshd, I run the one 
that came with FreeBSD. Both daemons are up and running, and listening to 
their ports, at least according to sockstat. httpd is listening to port 80 
(using tcp6 only, of some reason), while sshd is listening on port 22 (both 
tcp4 and tcp6). I've also got inetd running, if I open for telnet in the 
/etc/inted.conf file, I'm able to telnet from another machine and connect 
to the box. A solution might be to add sshd and httpd in inetd, but from 
what I've heard, inetd is listening for connections to certain ports, then, 
if any connections are detected, opening the appropriate program and 
routing the connection to that program (am I right on this one?). This 
should not be necessary, since both sshd and httpd is already listening for 
connections on their own.

My first assumption was that the problem was caused by a firewall, but I 
don't think any firewall or firewall rules are set up, since 
firewall_enable="NO" in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Another fishy thing is that I'm also unable to connect to Apache from 
localhost using lynx. "lynx 192.168.0.10:80" gives me an "Alert!: Unable to 
connect to remote host.". The ServerName is set to 192.168.0.10:80 in the 
httpd.cond file. Connecting to the sshd using ssh works "fine" in the sense 
that I get a connection to sshd, but is unable to log in.

Pinging the FreeBSD system from another computer works fine.

So, do you guys have any ideas? Good or bad, it doesn't matter, because I'm 
totally out of ideas...

(and if you guessed I was pretty new at this, you guessed right )
