As some other posters pointed out I think the problem may very well be
'routing' and not necessarily just the firewall. My message indicated to read
through _all_ the docs not just those two 'related' topics. For instance this
doc is really helpful :
/usr/share/doc/shorewall-doc/html/Shorewall_and_Routing.html
specifically point #2:
Once routing determines where the packet is to go, the firewall (Shorewall)
determines if the packet is allowed to go there.
one way to see if shorewall is the problem is to turn it off, and test
also another good reference is this:
from this page:
/usr/share/doc/shorewall-doc/html/GettingStarted.html
this link:
Shorewall Configurations (making a test configuration)
/usr/share/doc/shorewall-doc/html/configuration_file_basics.htm#Levels
you seem to be getting closer to a solution! and that's a good thing. ;-)
