Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables and insert your "-s 204.99.118.0/24" into 
the ssh rule there, then duplicate it and change the port number for 
each of your desired tcp services.

Notice that the magic is to put "-m state" before "--state..."

Also if you are running an ftp server you may need to edit 
/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config to load the ip_nat_ftp module.
