Ricardo, That step is only necessary if, as in your case, you have disallowed access from all other IP addresses. It's not required in an out-of-the-box installation. Furthermore, having the viewer IP disallowed by the IP address filter will cause "Connection closed unexpectedly", rather than "Connection timed out".
