    The program that your gateway uses as it's firewall is probably 'iptables'. If you run
    Code:
    /sbin/iptables -L -n
    you should be able to see exactly what it is blocking or not blocking. You can then run something like
    Code:
    /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s 123.45.67.89 --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT
    to allow the IP 123.45.67.89 to connect to the gateway on port 22.

    Best,

    Samuel
