How to resume ssh after installing IBM RBDe 7.1 in Linux OS

Recently I have installed IBM RBDe 7.1 in Linux OS. It has installed and running successfully. However remote connection to the linux system STOP working. Usually we use Secure Shell (ssh) to connect from windows/other os to connect to Linux machine. ssh uses port 22 by default. When I installed RBDe 7.1 I was unable to connect to Linux from windows through ssh. This is probably because while installing RBDe it set some rules or some other manipulation to iptables. To resume remote connection, open a terminal in Linux then enter the command iptables -F.

From man iptables:
iptables - administration tool for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT
-F, --flush [chain]
Flush the selected chain (all the chains in the table if none is given). This is equivalent to deleting all the rules one by one.
