Ummm.. if you can change rules and restart the firewall, you CAN check 
if lo is in the interface list.

I think you should post your config as in 
http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm, I bet a trained eye can spot your 
misconfiguration.

Also, it is not the best method to 'just try stuff', like opening random 
ports that are not understood, at least in the realm of security....

Again post your config as in http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm and I 
bet it can be cleared up without a clean install.
