Are you using the built-in Firewall? What version of OS X are you running?

Are you with wired or wireless connection?
Set up firewall rules in System Preferences > Security > Firewall, service by service you need on.
If you are behind a wireless or wired router and other potential firewalls, set the ports you need open also there.

Thank for your suggestion - I am using the internal firewall in mac osx 10.5

Take a look at this web page from Perdue to see how it is done.
