Hi Steve,
This is almost certainly because your browser doesn't want you to. It's a
security thing - you can't make WFS requests to a server that isn't the
host.
So:
GeoServer: www.example.com:8080
WWW: www.example.com:8080
Will work perfectly.
But the second the WWW is different from the GeoServer, either via Host
name or port number, your browser won't allow the request.
To get around it you'll need to use a proxy server installed on the WWW
which makes the requests to the GeoServer. Google around and you should
find something - "cross domain" would be one set of keywords.
Regards,
Jonathan
