   Hmm could there be a firewall or some other routing issue? Are you sure it's binding to port 8080 successfully? Maybe try a different port and see what happens?

   It's most likely the case! I have Norton, and their firewall is pretty robust! I have no idea how to allow ports through!
   I've tried a few other ports, but no dice!

   Is there a programmatic way to open the port?
