Why can't my other machines see my Debian box (rwhod)



I have set up a debian potato machine + 2.4.9 kernel on a network at work.
I have various other non Linux )HP-IX Solaris, FreeBSD) machines on this
same subnet. All of them can see each other's rwhod broadcasts. And the
debian machine can see thiers. However, the other machines can't see the
Debian ones.

The only thing slightly strange abou the situation is that the netmask is
255.255.255.128. I have a similar situation at home with another Debian
machine, and it works. The netmask thier is 255.255.255.0

Could this be part of the problem?
