A fair bit of javascript is loaded the very first time you visit IPA, 
that can be slow. Otherwise it should be relatively quick. Not minutes 
anyway.

Different ports and that isn't the client talking to the server, it is 
you talking to the client and to the server. This is definitely some 
sort of networking problem, though "no route to host" is rather odd 
since you can ping. You might also look at the iptables configuration on 
the client.
