Thanks Nate (and for the others who have also relied with a similar fashion), but the problem is when I try to ping my machine from a _different_ host. From this different host I can ping other machines, just not my machine (where debian is running).
That is, I can ping _from_ my machine with no problem, I kind ping to it though. Other suggestions anyone? Please...
