[FW1] GUI cannot connect to server



I have a big problem connecting to our FW1 with the fwpolicy gui.
We have Check Point VPN-1 Version 4.1 Build 41716 [VPN + DES +
STRONG]installed on a HP-UX Platform. The Management-Module is on the same
server.
The idea is to manage the FW with a gui from my home office by accessing the
FW with ssh, adding the IP-address my ISP has given me to the gui-clients
file and connect with the gui.
But when I add my IP to gui-clients file and try to connect with gui, the
gui says "cannot connect to server".
I have a gui installed on a client in my office at work which works fine.
Even if I want to add a new client in my office at work, the new gui client
says it cannot connect to server.
I have the implied rules activated and when I look in fwlog I can see that
my request is dropped by the firewall with the rule "any -- firewall --
any -- drop" which is one of my last rules. When I allow the new client to
connect with service "FW mgmt" explicitly in a new rule it works fine, but
this can't be my solution because I want to connect to the firewall from my
home office with changing ip-addresses. So the only way for me is to add the
client's ip to the gui-clients file.
Has anybody heard about this strange behaviour ?
Thanks in advance for answerign me
