The -A means *append*.  It is added to the INPUT chain *after* all the
other rules.  If any rule has previously rejected the connection,
adding further rules afterwards will not help.

I would *insert* the rule at the beginning of the chain with a command
like this:

iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.1.60 -j ACCEPT
