[PLUG] Too much security problem


I have Linux Mandrake 6.1 on my campus workstation.  It has a
dedicated IP address (206.181.181.73) but for some reason I can't
ping it from outside campus (you can try).  I want to use my Apache
and FTP server but cannot.   I can ping my friend's computer, running
Windows 95 with another dedicated IP address (206.181.181.74) which
is where I'm confused.  

Could there be some sort of security block set up by Mandrake
preventing clients from outside the network from accessing my
computer?   How do I check?
