The reason Tom asked this question is that if you do a shorewall clear, 
that clears all iptables rules, and effectively removes any firewalling. 
Thus, after a shorewall clear, if it doesn't work, that means that your 
problem is not shorewall related, and thus this is the wrong forum to 
ask questions, although many friendly people sometimes will provide you 
with help for off topic problems if you are lucky.

So, before even thinking about a firewall, you need to make sure your 
system is behaving as it should (which yours is apparently not).
