I don't know if this is directly related, but I'm currently having the following problem:

After removing firehol, tinyproxy and dansguardian (with --purge), apt-get and wget became unable to download.

$sudo apt-get update
...
W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:3128 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)
...

$wget google.com
--2008-11-03 18:48:55-- http://google.com/
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:3128... failed: Connection refused.

127.0.0.1:3128 is of course where the traffic went through previously when tinyproxy was in use.
Browsers work correctly.
"wget --no-proxy google.com" and "ping de.archive.ubuntu.com" work too.

I tried reinserting my wifi card, changing the network settings in synaptic, flushing iptables, but nothing worked.

I discovered that there was still a /var/lock/firehol file and removed it. apt-get still doesn't work.
