Yes, well, I am behind a router, but otherwise I am directly
connected. Usually I can connect to mydomain.com from my own machine,
and get through to it properly (as if I wasn't on the network).

I've tried adding the entry to my /etc/hosts file, but it doesn't
change the behaviour. Still times out.
I've disabled the firewall on the box, and aparently it isn't my ISP
that is blocking port 8800, as a tcpdump on port 8800 shows plenty of
traffic coming in (in a telnet session), but nothing coming out.
Fishy.
It really *does* sound like a firewall problem, but i am sure I
disabled it. I might have to be thoroughly whipped if I actully
enabled it again, and tried other troubleshooting things.

I was, so should work. (:
