Better ask that on serverfault than on stackoverflow. But to make it short, if i were you, i'd drop ALL my iptables rules first, then check if it works. When you have everything running, check netstat -nap on U11.10 to make sure each process is using the ports you expect it to. Then, re-enable your iptables one by one.
Also, when you try something like the rpcinfo that doesn't work, you might want to have a tcpdump running on your U11.10, and examine the result with wireshark. This gives you an idea if packets are sent, received, and which ports are used, as well.
