This doesn't precisely coincide to what you say, but I don't see anything jump 
off the page at me... I wonder, this port it's listening on, does this have 
to be available to the lan? Or is this just the machine talking to itself? 
All lo is allowed in my firewall rules, but talk between the lan and the 
firewall is extremely restricted.
