This is the same problem I was having with the GRE protocol (IP protocol 47)
being blocked.  My firewall needed upgrading be able to handle the new protocol
and my old Linux box which could not use ipchains, could not handle the
filtering if GRE properly with ipfwadm.

Look into those two possibilities.
