I think the issue is that your server is only listening for incoming calls from the local (host) machine. The 127.0.0.1 is a kind of magic number that just means in IP-speak 'this machine'. Try running it as
python manage.py runserver www.yourhost.yourdomain.com:8000 (suitably replaced by your domain name of course). This will make it listen for connections from other machines as well. If you are using the 8000 port number, your browser should connect to it when you type in http://www.yourhost.yourdomain.com If the 8000 port is already taken (by some other server eg. apache running), you should get an error message. Then try with another port, e.g. python manage.py runserver www.yourhost.yourdomain.com:8900 and type something like http://www.yourhost.yourdomain.com:8900 into your browser. The 3000 port number you mention is almost certainly wrong. There is nothing super magic about ports: they are just a number, but client and server need to use the same...
