Before claiming anything else, please try to get a glimpse at the traffic
using tcpdump or some other packet capturing tool. By doing it both on the
server (which means before the packets actually hit the driver/NIC) and
client (to see what is received) you can narrow down the possible causes;
it's even better if you try with 2 different clients or try to sniff the
packets as they go out of the server NIC (on a non-switching hub) to
eliminate client-related problems.
Have you also tried to connect a client using HTTP without a firewall ?
Maybe the firewall is eating some packets...

Sincerely,
