You are exactly right.  Dropped the firewall and everything worked.

I don't want to run without any firewall.  

The current IPTABLES has these lines:

# Firewall configuration written by lokkit
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.

And I don't want to have to create one from scratch if I can avoid it.

However, the CLS version of the firewall config program (as opposed to
the gui) lets me allow certain ports.  Could I use that?  If so, what
ports?

kind regards,
