Unblocking port 8080?

[Cloudgazer]

I am trying to test a flashgame on facebook.
The application loads, but then cannot connect to the server.

I'm told the game uses port 8080.
Now, i've switched off my firewall - but can see no options or mention of port 8080.

The app I'm testing is here: http://apps.facebook.com/word_search

The only other mac in the office has no problem accessing the game.

Please help.

you have to open ports on your router

Your connection to facebook 'should' be http, port 80. I doubt this is a client side issue.

8080 is usually a proxy port. However if you want to give it a go, try port forwarding 8080 or TEMPORARILY using a DMZ to your local IP.
