I had trouble getting my server to work initially. Something to do with
connection rules on the server itself. Try typing:

/sbin/iptables -F

at the terminal command line. Though apparently this is "not a good idea"
or some *** re security.

NOTE: In my experience the changes will be reset upon a reboot.

PS: I am not an expert on this subject.
