I think that is because the masquerading time for udp packets
in the ipchains firewall has been exceeded.
The first ACK did work, it is the one taking 170 seconds that
times out.

Change it by executing on the firewall:

   ipchains -M -S tcp tcpfin udp

Filling in 0 means "do not change the value":

   ipchains -M -S 0 0 300

(I did not use ipchains since more than 4 or 5 years now, so take care
and read the man page again too.)
