When enabling the server, note that you put '' as the IP, and not 'localhost'.
if you put an ip: '172.16.1.2', your server will listen on that IP (if it's valid) if you put '', your server will listen on all IPs defined on that computer. of you put 'localhost', it will listen for local connections only. Maybe that's the problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
