What does hostname --fqdn say? If it is something like mybox.inforamp.net,
then make sure you have a entry for this name in /etc/hosts or your box asks
your ISP's nameserver about the "mybox" host in the inforamp.net domain.
Then: a) the nameserver doesn't know about a host "mybox" or b) there is a
host with this name already at the domain, but it doesn't have the IP you
got on dialin.
In both cases your box refuses connection due to the ALL:PARANOID line in
/etc/hosts.deny.
Ciao,
