When you say you have opened the port on your firewall, are you speaking of the firewall on your FreeBSD box or a Hardware firewall? For example, if you have a linksys router you would have to Forward your TCP port 8080 to the 192.168.254.25 box. > What should I look at to solve this?

Just check above and make sure your firewall is routing to the correct box. > Thanks for help, > Micke
