I have a Palm Pre, and I've installed my webserver on it, it listens on port 8080. It works, when I open 192.168.1.104:8080 on the Pre's browser (that's the IP address of the device, I've failed with localhost or 127.0.0.1), it shows images, everything is OK.But I can't access the webserver from outside, e.g. from my desktop machine, it shows timeout. Is there a firewall on the Pre, or what's wrong? I can change server's port number, if necessary. I didn't configured the Pre, just installed SSH. Also, I can SSH to Pre, and from Pre to my desktop.UPDATE:ifconfig says:eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:FE:B5:99:51            inet addr:192.168.1.104  Bcast:192.168.255.255

How to access web server running on Palm Pre from another machine?
webserver;webos
At the moment, incoming traffic is blocked unless explicitly allowed (that's what policy DROP means). There are rules to allow legitimate traffic, for example the very first rule allows incoming ssh connections (tcp dpt:22 means TCP traffic to port 22, and that's the ssh port).The manual way to enable a web server is add an iptables rule that allows incoming traffic to that port. Let's say you want to open port 80. You can to it with the following command:iptables -I INPUT 24 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ALLOWED_PACKETS(Note that I'm following the model of ports 3689 and 5353, which allow for things like rate control. Ssh is handled specially, I guess to reduce the risk that a misconfiguration will make it inaccessible.)There's probably a canonical way to have your settings applied at boot time. Googling suggests that once you have a satisfactory setting, you can make it permanent withiptables-save >/etc/pmnetconfig/iptables-common.configI don't know WebOS, so I can't confirm the location of this file.During your experimentations, if you mess up, you can delete a specific rule (e.g. the 42nd) with iptables -D INPUT 42. Assuming the location above is correct, you can restore the boot-time settings with iptables-restore </etc/pmnetconfig/iptables-common.config
