Incoming mail, as well as http requests reache the system. So I presume it is not a routing problem.

AFAIK there are no firewalls within the campus.

I haven't tried it from the board but it does not respond to telnetting from my ISP

Yes to both. There is a router and they are on different subnets. i.e. my machine is on 194.27.52.70 and the NT is on 193.140.143.6 (I may be wrong about the last digit).
