Ok, that ought to work...

You edited /etc/hosts.conf and added a localhost entry, didn't you?

Does your router happen to disallow ping packets? (I've seen the craziest
configurations...)

As long as 127.0.0.1 wasn't listed as nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf,
bind9 should not have been in the way.

Hmm. that's really strange. Wait, let me get your setup straight...
like that?
(10.0.0.?)

lo doesn't get a route on its own - it doesn't appear in my routing table, too.
Ah, just remembered something: If localhost is listed in your /etc/hosts
as I suggested, what does the "order" directive in /etc/host.conf say?
Should read "order hosts,bind"...

No, that config file (resolv.conf and host.conf also) is reread
automatically.
The only thing I can imagine is some weird misconfiguration of the router,
allowing connections from the Windows box, but not from the Debian. But
as you only reconfigured the Debian box and it worked before you began,
that's nearly impossible.
Hmm, I'm pretty much groping in the dark... Is that router a full-
featured Linux box that you could inspect (tcpdump'ing the incoming
packets from the Debian box, and tracing where they go to)?
Or have you tried temporarily dropping one of the interfaces, so that there's
only one possible route (and source IP) left?
