[FW1] Strange Rule 0 behavior



Hello,
We have a FW-1 4.1 SP 3. We are using Stonebeat Full
cluster for high availability( 2.0.2035 SP03a). Our
platform is Solaris 7. I have a rule set up to allow
DNS, SSH, SMTP, IMAPS from my home machine(static IP)
to a machine behind the firewall. The machine behind
the firewall that I am trying to access for the above
services has a public IP so there is no NAT involved.
I can use the DNS service from home without a problem.
However all the other services will time out when
trying to access them from my home. Here is a snoop
session in which I am trying to access SSH from home
to the machine behind the firewall. The snoop was run
on the machine running the SSH service that resides
behind the firewall:

206.150.228.61 = home machine
catfish.jmq.net = SSH Host

206.150.228.61 -> catfish.jmq.net TCP D=22 S=2743 Syn
Seq=21581
68247 Len=0 Win=16384 Options=<mss
1460,nop,nop,sackOK>


catfish.jmq.net -> 206.150.228.61 TCP D=2743 S=22 Syn

Interesting enough when I look through the logs all
the packets originating from my machine to SSH machine
will be dropped because of "rule 0 Unknown Established
TCP Packet." This is odd since I see the syn packet
from my machine making it to the SSH host behind the
firewall. I would think that if FW-1 let the syn
packet through that it would create an entry in its
state table. So why this would be "Unknown Established
TCP packet" is beyone me. I must add that I am able to
SSH from the SSH Host behind the firewall to my
machine at home without problem. I thought this might
be a case of asymetric routing so I took the second
firewall in the Stonebeat Full Cluster offline but
this situation persisted. If anyone could give me any
feedback I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
