I'm running a simple web app on a NodeJS server running on port 8080 of a Windows machine. Local connections are working great, but I can't seem to get remote connections working. I've looked around for answers to this question, and I'm kind of at a loss...
The server is listening with server.listen(8080), and I'm under the impression that will bind it to all IP addresses.
I checked the Windows command prompt...
netstat -an -f -p tcp | grep LISTEN
TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
And I added an inbound rule to my Windows Firewall to accept TCP connections on port 8080. What else could it be?
When I navigate Chrome to localhost:8080, things work great, but when I ssh into a Linux box and curl to http://{mypc}:8080 it tells me curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
EDIT: I'm using this script to start my Node server... https://github.com/joeeames/AngularFundamentalsFiles/blob/master/web-server.js
@minitech was right. A firewall above me allows port 80 connections, but not port 8080. Changing the Node server to start on port 80 solved the problem.
