Well, ok, It looks like I was having a brainfart.
As it turns out, the issue was with the application I was using and not
the firewall at all as there was no firewall setup yet.....
Ok, back to school....
As a quick aside here, a really nice tool for managing firewalls on
Debian (or darn near any other distro) is shorewall. you can "apt-get
install shorewall" to get it. It abstracts a lot of the iptables stuff
into a higher level config that is much easier to manage. One little
gotcha on Debian though is that the default install doesn't have any
of the config templates in place in the /etc/shorewall directory. In
the (IIRC) /usr/share/docs/shorewall there is a directory there is a
set of example config files. If you copy those files into
/etc/shorewall, it will make boot strapping an install much easier.
