You are running shorewall...and your internal IP address is 192.168.2.2. This is what can be called an RFC-1918 and can't be directly accessed from the internet. Can we assume that your system has two interfaces? One with a non-RFC-1918 address? If so...then the best thing you can do is head over to http://www.shorewall.net/ and go to "Documentation", pick the version you are running and go to "Index" and then "Port Forwarding" as this will explain what you need in better words than I could. -- I want to kill everyone here with a cute colorful Hydrogen Bomb!!
