Hi,
Since you seem to be blocking incoming connections to port 1024,
check section 11, it should probably look like the following:
######
[snip]
FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="yes"	# Common: "ftp-data" (sadly!)
FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="yes"	# Common: "DNS" or "domain ntp"
[snip]
######

Also, as root, execute "ipchains -L" to see what your rules are.
