Exclamation Incoming ports blocked on RH9?

I'm at a loss. For the most part, I know what I'm doing - but this time I must be missing something, so I thought I'd ask and see.

I've got a RH9 box that I've been working on. Pretty standard install, except that I opted not to use the firewall (as I have a hardware router/firewall) and I compiled / installed my own webserver, database, etc. Anyway, my problem is getting ports forwarded to my box. I've confirmed the webserver is working as expected, I've setup port forwarding on my router, and selected port 5000 for my webserver (since I'm on TimeWarner / RoadRunner I'm certain they've blocked port 80). However, all I get is a connection refused error.

I even tried changing to port 6699 (WinMX uses that and I know it worked with my WindowsXP install) and got the same results. SO that leaves me to believe that I'm missing some new configuration step in RH9. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Did you make sure the webserver is actually listening on that
port? Listen *:5000 or Port 5000 in apache conf file if you are using it. I also noticed that a connection refused error can come from a missing/bad entry in the hosts file.

I'm certain the webserver is configured correctly. I can hit it from 127.0.0.1:5000 as well as 192.168.0.2:5000 but not from my real world ip address.

Did you open port 5000 through your RedHat firewall? On a standard RH install the firewall will be enabled blocking that port.

Well... I'm not using the firewall that comes with RedHat. :-/ I'm actually wondering if maybe RoadRunner / TimeWarner is the problem this time.
