Access to HTTPS and SSH via WAN enabled and allowed - but no connection possible

[klausagnoletti]

I just installed my new firewall on an aging i5 core dell workstation and put in a quad nic based on intel e1000. I don't think this has very much to do with the hardware, but whatever..

Anyways, I can't access SSH or HTTPS via WAN. I have enabled the services and sockstat says that the box listens on all interfaces on port 22 and 443 respectively. I have allowed the traffic and enabled logging. I can see in the log that my connection is allowed by the firewall. But I can't connect via either service. And honestly, I don't get it. To me, it defies logic. So I have no idea what the problem is and why it doesn't work.

Does anyone have an idea before I go out of my mind?

Thanks
