Not until you tell us _how_ you are trying to connect?  Are you using
telnet, ssh, rlogin, what? :-)

If you're using telnet:

	1) Don't.  Investigate ssh. :-)

	2) You need allow telnet connections from 146.151.104.67 with
	   TCP Wrappers.  I'm guessing here, of course, because you
	   haven't told us which version of FreeBSD you are using.
	   Look for an /etc/hosts.allow file.

	3) Inetd needs to be running.  Make sure you _don't_ have a
	   line that looks like this in /etc/rc.conf:

		inetd_enable="NO"

Ciao,
Sheldon.
