in.telnetd starts automatically from /etc/inetd.conf. That is apparently
working locally, but not remotely. However, Linux is cautious about who
connects. Is there a name for the client IP in DNS or /etc/hosts?

httpd is not controlled by inetd (unless you set up apache to run from
inetd instead of the usual standalone daemon). But its configuration
might be limiting it (check it for allow or deny directives). Also
automatic redirects for things like missing trailing slash on a directory
might be redirected to what the server perceives as its ServerName, which
might be localhost or some name not known by the client. See docs for
UseCanonicalName directive.
Check the contents of /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny (for more info
see: man 5 hosts_access). Are you doing anything with ipchains that might
be blocking something essential?
