plea for help

siliconshamanI have two problems.
1] I'm trying to secure my home server, which has an static LAN ip just outside the 1-100 range and is DMZ'ed.
Now it's running lucid..and for some reason I can't fathom, although the firewall is set to allow incoming connections on the SMB port specifically mentioning the other computers on the LAN by host name...it won't let them connect. [in point of fact, they can't see the server].
2] I can't get Tor to start... it's installed ok, but the throwing the error unable to bind the listening port [9050] to the home address, suggesting that another instance of tor is using it.. but there is no other instance of tor running [I checked using htop]. If it's any help, the Torcc file is blank, which I'm not sure it shouldn't be.
Any suggestions..I've been up all night and I'm brain fried. I can probably shut down the firewall and tor and revert to an open server.. but that's just asking some script kiddie to poke at it. I'd like to get it up and secure so that no-one but the three computers my family use can access the server, and the server uses tor to connect to the net. [and if possible works as a tor relay.]
But damned if I can see how to right now...I'm doing what it says in the instructions and it isn't doing what it should according to them.
