Sorry for responding so late.

Thank you for the link to let me think over my firewall settings once more. My machines are connected to an internet router the firewall of which doesn't allow any services. So I thought my LAN to be safe as the external zone.

But this seems to be naive. Forget my unqualified try to help.
