Do you also have a router to add to the scenario? Normally in a server/client topology, one would set up the server with a good SPI packet filter, like 8signs or CHX-I(free) and the rest of the nodes with app filter firewalls, like Zone Alarm or Kerio 2.15. If you are running two firewalls with your server, what are they? Do they do the same thing? More info is needed.
