Exit Relay on Ubuntu 9.10 behind 2wire 2701HG-B firewall

[Justin Aplin]

This may be grasping at straws, but do you have an Address line in  
your torrc? If you have a static IP address, I'd stick that in the  
address line; if not, I'd get a DynDNS or No-IP dynamic domain name  
(and the software to keep it updated) and put the domain name in the  
address line. If TOR is guessing your IP address wrong for some  
reason, it may be looking in the wrong place for your relay. Good luck!

Oh, and I'm not familiar with your setup, but do you have a software  
firewall enabled? That could be tossing your inbound connections.
