services on woody (really need help)

["matt" <mattlist@fastmail.fm>]

ok, so i've been trying a few new things, and still can't figure out
what's wrong...
here's the latest:
can ping woody from win2k
can access services on win2k from woody
can access services on woody from potato
potato connects flawlessly with both win2k and woody.
hosts.deny is now blank

so the only problem is that win2k can't connect to woody if it initiates
the connection (except ping).

setup:
3 machines on lan
win2k 192.168.1.2
woody 192.168.1.3
potato 192.168.1.9

I really really need help with this.  it's driving me insane!  
PLEASE HELP,
-matt
