Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

Please bare with me a little while... I will move to the suggested group.

I have been grappling with the 8081 port issue...

telnet produces this:

connect to address 192.168.60.130: Connection refused

I used something like this: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT

but for some reason it seems it is not effective yet - maybe doing 
something wrong.
