Sorry forgot something in the line there, it should be:
# iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT

Don't quite rember if slimserver needs UDP aswell, if so also enter:
# iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p udp --dport 9000 -j ACCEP

This is a default setting, meant to run slimserver as a seperate user
other than root, for security reasons. You'd better keep it this way
so slimserver can't access the whole system.
