[Tfug] web server unreachable

[Nate]

Hmm... good call... That is definitely a very good point and a good
additional check.  However looking at the netstat again, we can see that
it's listening on :::80, which should mean it's accepting connections on
port 80 to any interface, ipv4 or ipv6.  At least, that's what I see on
my web servers and they work fine.  My guess is that it's something
upstream from him.
