I had a similar problem with using SSH to connect to a FreeBSD box that 
I have. It turned out that the reason was that on the gateway that I 
use, I had IP forwarding disabled. My gateway is a box running Slackware 
Linux, and I am using Iptables to implement NAT (Network Address 
Translation). Your firewall is most likely something different, but I 
thought that you might find this info helpful in some way.
