Port forwarding not working

Got help from the Linux community on this one. Turned out to be a strange firewall issue on the server that was overlooked.

One reason might be that the non-psychics in your audience can't see

might be that you seem unable to answer basic questions in a useful way.

Sadly, I have no better idea of what you did before than I have of
what you're doing now.
