I've now set up a filter rule using ipfilter, so you can now access
this on port 8080 too.

So both

http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8000

and

http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8080

are the same server. Mainly for my own information, but here is what
was entered to do the appropriate port redirection on a Solaris 10
SPARC system in the *global* zone.  This uses the ipfilter firewall -
other firewalls will use a different syntax.

r...@t2 # cat /etc/ipf/ipnat.conf
# Allow the server which runs by default on the reserved port 8000
# to be used on the more sensible port 8080.
# 8000 is reserved for remote desktop management (RDM), whereas
# 8080 is reserved as an alternative HTTP sever
# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

rdr nxge0 128.208.128.196 port 8080 -> 128.208.128.196 port 8000

# If one wants it on port 80 too, that ie easily done too.
#rdr nxge0 128.208.128.196 port 80 -> 128.208.128.196 port 8000

I think that would be the sensible long-term solution. Of course it
will involve some level of backwards incompatibility, but IMHO port
8000 should never have been used in the first place.

I doubt you are the only one unable to get out on port 8000 either,
since 8000 is reserved for remote desktop management.

I hope that server is able to fulfill your needs. It's not the fastest
machine in the world, as the CPUs are not really appropriate for
scientific work. But it is quite reliable machine - it has been up
nearly a year without a reboot.
