I can see only two rules in your mail. These two rules should not give any
problem like this. I guess that you have more rules which is giving this
error. Have you cheked whether the input chain is dropped completely. If the
input chain is getting dropped completely you may have to recompile the
kernel with all the modules(netfilter) and check again

Dharmu
