I opened port 8000 and
Nope it is still not working.
I guess my cable company is blocking access to that IP somehow.
But on the other hand my Software firewall used to get scanned sometimes
You know when I check the log file I can see that it got scanned
That was before I set-up the Firewall in my router
So if someone can scan the ports on my computer then he must be getting
in somehow.
