Sounds like your tcp services are bound to the loopback device
(127.0.0.1). This is reachable from your linux box but not from
the outside. If you have your tcp service listening on port 9090
you can have a look at a linux console. Just type:

#> netstat -atn | grep 9090

If you get something like this

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9090          0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN   

then your tcp service is bound to loopback and can't be reached 
from outside this host. I can only speak for the usage of seaside 
which is using KomHttpServer as HV2 I guess. Most of the people using
one of these are using apache, too. In a common scenario apache is
reachable from the outside and apache connects your squeak instance
(like you do with konqueror from the linux box). 

I took a quick peak and only found
 
Socket>>listenTo:backlogSize:interface:

Try to specify the interface address (usually is 0.0.0.0). I don't know
but it may help.
