No, the assumption is not correct. Many standard firewalls allow ssh and 
ping, but block everything else.
Run iptables -L as root (ubuntu command is
sudo -c iptables -L
I think)

If there are any non-accept lines reported, try:
sudo -i
#that becomes root
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -F

This should effectively remove your firewall. I am only suggesting that you 
do this for testing purposes, you probably want to turn your firewall back 
on again.
There may of course be more than one error in your configuration.

If in doubt, send the output of
iptables -nvL
to the list, and someone can tell you whether it will allow myth.
