I'm assuming you have a fw -> net (or default) policy that's blocking all outbound traffic from the firewall. You need to allow connections from your firewall machine to the relevant Debian sources. This may be HTTP or FTP (most likely HTTP) depending on the sources defined in /etc/apt/sources.list. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
