Hello,

just a wild guess out of the blue!
AFAIK, RH comes up with its own simple firewall tool named "lokkit", 
which is configured after installation!

As far as I remember, you'll have to choose between three levels :

1)low (no blockage of ports)
2) medium (I don't remember what this option included)
3) high (blocks all ports)


Do you run "lokkit" and what security level did you select! (as root run 
"lokkit" on the console to check your options)
