A default Redhat 7.1 installation comes with fairly strict IP filtering 
enabled, so that access to most ports is blocked. You will probably need to 
create a /etc/hosts.allow file with the entry like this, if my memory 
serves me correct:
support: ALL
(assuming your GNATS servise is called "support")
Anyway, a "man hosts.allow" should be a good starting point.
