ESX 3.0:
The ESX firewall is great for security but a pain when it comes to troubleshooting! It may not be best practice (None of the stuff I write probably is), but you can change the default incoming and outgoing rule from deny to allow. I use it when I just can't get something in ESX to work remember to turn it back to deny once you have figured out what in the firewall to open...
To open:
esxcfg-firewall --allowOutgoing
esxcfg-firewall --allowIncoming
To close:
esxcfg-firewall --blockIncoming
esxcfg-firewall --blockOutgoing

You may not have intended this for public use, but it sure saved me from pulling the rest of my hair out when I could not FTP out from an ESX server.
