Excellent! And here I was about to post a WireShark dump showing SAGE replying with a RST, ACK in response to the web browser request from the Windows machine. Now that I know this behavior is expected, I modified the README.txt for the vmware-sage-deluxe-2.11 VM (which uses Xubuntu, and so already has a specific startup sequence). Perhaps similar comments on the standard VMWare image (especially since this is changed default behavior)?

IMHO. When I install Mathematica on my workstation, I don't expect it to start a front-end server accessible to the internet. Now, if we could get a port to OpenBSD (with privsep), I'd be less concerned with the security of the system. ;-) But I tend to be a little on the cautious side ... > +1 I'm ok with this. > What do people think.
