Yep, my IP is 127.0.0.1 and my iptable rules are:
iptables -A INPUT -s ! localhost -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s ! localhost -p tcp --dport 21 -j DROP
...

The point is that IP 192.168.X.X carries no more (well, slightly more) 
information than 127.0.0.1. 

Anyway, anyone can read my 'real' IP in the envelope of this mail. I guess I 
am boned.
