Well, it was in between the lines. The prob seems quite general and not 
related to c/s architecture.

If you say "firewall", then, did you *really* open the port (to your 
inside LAN)? Did you restart - as a measure of safety - the firewall, to 
get the changed configuration. When i'm trying to reconfigure my beast, 
then i never succed on the first attempt :-)

Try to stop the firewall. Try a "telnet myhost 119" - do you still get 
"connection refused"?

Good luck! Ed
