[Mono-devel-list] Almost got ASP.NET running but...

[Jonathan Pryor]

Are you running Red Hat 8 or 9 by any chance?  I know that with those
distributions (and likely others) that the built-in firewall needs to be
configured to accept external connections.

For example, unless you disable the firewall during Red Hat
installation, you'll be able to run samba, but no external machines will
be able to connect to the machine.  Ditto for NFS, HTTP, and everything
else, unless you explicitly permit the connection using
redhat-config-securitylevel (which sets the security settings).

Since you can connect from the machine locally, but not externally, it
sounds like this is the root cause of your problem.
