Hey Bill,

I guess I missed your response. It seems to work fine on my local machine,
so I'm guessing there is something blocking or conflicting on the port
somehow. I've tried to connect to it from different machines and each time
I get the same response. Oddly mythweb (default 80) works with no issues.

I guess I'll check the myth back end logs again.
