Yes, I did install IPchains. At Vann's suggestion, I flushed the chain rules.

make test gives the same error as before, but this time when I try to 
connect with a browser to the server (still at port 8529), I get a 
"Forbidden" error. So, in fact the ipchains was in the way, but there's 
something else going on.

You're doing OK so far. :-)
