Send in tcpdump 

tcpdump

to see what is not making it through iptables.  If you get a ton of junk 
obscuring the cvs traffic, use syntax like this (this example will filter out 
ssh-related traffic from the tcpdump report)

tcpdump not port 22

It is much much better to see everything and filter out the bad rather than 
make assumptions about what is to be seen and ask only to see that.... ie, 
this would not be a good idea:

tcpdump port 2401 and port 2402

because it may be another port you didn't imagine yet that actually causes 
your problem, and that way you will not see it.
