It's gentoo. So unless James has actively emerged and installed
iptables or an other firewall, there is none!

One other thing to try. Can you ping the ip-address you are using? The
long blank page suggests it cannot find the address on the network. So
also check other ip settings like router and dns on the machine you
were using to test connectivity.
