    Well, I think my question has not been really understood. Probably I
    have not been clear enough on what seems strange to me.

    On my local pc the very similiar services run as on our dedicated
    server in the internet. Some of those services are blocked on both
    pc's using iptables DROP target.

    Scanning the ports of my local pc from the dedicated host yields the
    following:

    21/tcp open ftp
    22/tcp open ssh
    443/tcp open https
    940/tcp open unknown
    987/tcp open unknown
    6667/tcp filtered irc

    Scanning the port of our dedicated host from my local pc yields these
    results:

    22/tcp open ssh
    25/tcp open smtp
    80/tcp open http
    110/tcp open pop3
    143/tcp open imap
    3306/tcp filtered mysql
    4444/tcp filtered krb524
    5432/tcp filtered postgres
    6667/tcp filtered irc
    8009/tcp filtered ajp13
    8443/tcp open https-alt
    10000/tcp filtered snet-sensor-mgmt

    Now my question was: Why are the mysql, posgres and ajp13 ports
    showing up as "filtered" on the dedicated host compared to not showing
    up at all on the local pc on which they are also running??

    I mean since the rules are the same I would expect to see them as
    filtered too on my local pc where they don't show up and seem to be
    completely hidde from "nmap"!?!
