That's normal behaviour.  And it is mentioned in the FAQ at http://www.e-smith.net/.

Access from outside the local LAN is blocked because it is insecure - it is
not a good idea to have the administration password pass in clear text
over the Internet.

Either be happy with doing administration only on the local LAN. Or use SSH.  See http://e-smith.gormand.com.au/ if you want some SSH RPMs set up for the e-smith server and gateway.
