Trouble configuring P2Pool

[infernaltoast]

I set up a remote linux server with P2Pool for Litecoin (as a test) and the process boots up perfectly fine and I can even mine to it from the CpuMiner installed on that linux server, pointed at the local address 127.0.0.1:9327.  Unfortunately, when I try to connect to it with a miner app on a different computer, the miner cannot establish a connection!  I can ping the server just fine, and I even opened the firewall to tcp traffic on port 9327 and many other P2Pool-associated ports.  The miner is configured correctly because if I just make the url point to a popular pool server, it works.  My thought is that I either did not config the firewall right, or I did not config P2Pool enough (I barely configured it at all!)  What could I try?  Does anyone have better experience with P2Pool configuration?

Happy mining,

Andrew

Are you sure P2Pool is listening for external connections? It might be listening on the loopback network, in which case attempts to connect from outside will be useless.

(Unfortunately I can't point you off the top of my head to the right place in the config file to check this hypothesis, as I haven't used P2Pool for months.)

They very well could be the issue! When the server boots, it says "Listening on '' port 9327 for workers"  and I think the address missing means it is only looking locally.  None of the P2Pool guides I read said anything about configuration like that- does anybody know of any good guides for this?   

Thanks,
