Where are you running nmap and where are you trying to access home
from?  If trying to access your home computer from a corportate network,
you may find many ports are blocked.  Some cable companies also block
some ports.  Without further info, it's hard to say where the problem
lies.

As for Redhat, if a service is available locally, it has to be available
remotely, unless something in between is blocking access.  As I
mentioned, that could be a firewall, at either end or be blocked by the
cable company.  What's between that RH box and your ISP?  Have you tried
using different port numbers?  Are you trying from work?  Can you access
other systems?
