thanks for your quick answer

sorry, I was not precise enouth.
iptables is installed but there are no rules

/sbin/iptables
iptables v1.3.3: no command specified
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
root at ubuntu60664m:~# /sbin/iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

does that mean, that there i no firewall on this system?
