Cant get node.js to listen on a simple port

[Larry Schoeneman]

I was testing a very simple web server….

var http = require('http');

//create a server object:
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
   console.log('In server');
    res.write('Hello World!'); //write a response to the client
  res.end(); //end the response
}).listen(8080, '192.168.1.40' ); //the server object listens on port 8080

This works fine when i run it on my pc and access it by:
http://192.168.1.40:8080.

When i run it on the conduit, it can’t ever find the page.
I browse to http://192.168.1.40:8080 but it always seems to timeout

Any idea

Is this on an mPower firmware?

Inbound connections are not allowed by default.
Check the firewall settings and open a port.
