Subject: Network connection to ruby daemon script connect on public ip of local machine but fails remotely

On a Mac OSX 10.5.8 server OS,
% ruby sip-alg-detector-daemon.rb -i 4.3.2.1
Mon Nov 21 00:16:46 2011 INFO: Starting SIP ALG Detector daemon...
Mon Nov 21 00:16:46 2011 INFO: Use '-i IP' to set the listening IP
Mon Nov 21 00:16:46 2011 INFO: Use '-p PORT' to set the listening port
Mon Nov 21 00:16:46 2011 INFO: Bind address: 4.3.2.1:5060

OK
=====
Being on the same machine the client sip-alg-detector.rb and telnet
connect both OK to sip-alg-detector-daemon.rb on port 5060.
% ruby sip-alg-detector.rb -n -si 4.3.2.1 -lp 5065

Error
=====
Being on a remote Mac OSX 10.6.8 machine, the client is unable to
connect to the remote port 5060, not TCP neither UDP, also telnet fails:
Trying 4.3.2.1...
telnet: connect to address 4.3.2.1: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Tried
=====
Step already tried to resolve...
1. Check server firewall
The ipfw firewall accepts the packets:
Nov 21 02:31:07 193 ipfw[892]:  12323 Accept TCP 1.2.3.4:50285
4.3.2.1:5060 in via en0

2. Check client firewall
Firewall disabled, result = identical

3. Check from another host
Grc.com/shieldsup returns a "stealth" on port 5060

Question
========
What kind of "magic" is required on Mac OSX to make this ruby daemon on
port 5060 to become connectable from remote networks?
