-A _appends_ a rule to a chain.  So you're appending the accept after
the reject.  And since ipchains uses the first matching rule,
your packets get toasted.

Perhaps you mean to use the -I (insert) command instead.

Alternatively, you could delete that DENY rule using -D, and things
would also be kosher.
