Flush all the tables:
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F

Then delete all rules:
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -X

Then set default polices to accept:
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

Then try to connect.

Are you using a 3rd party utility to configure the firewall or hand editing an
rc script?
