Typically on debian, any firewall activity is done using IPtables. if you become root and you say :
/sbin/iptables -L You should see the iptable rules. And see what is being filtered. Sometimes when you start a system, you will add a package that does the iptables work for you. Did you add a firewall? If so, what package? Look at that package and use the tool to open up the port. You can test your hypothesis with tcpdump, and look at packets directly. or you can flush all the IP tables, and see if that fixes anything.
