Before you flush the rules, be sure that all default policies are set to
ACCEPT. Is this a "headless" (no keyboard) box only accessible through

Another thing you neglected was to delete any user-made chains. Of
course if there are none this won't matter, and IAC flushing the
built-in chains is all that is required to bypass all rules.
