I cannot not connect to my deployd server externally on 45.55.183.253:5000. I can connect to it locally with no problems.

I am running the ubuntu 12.04 image.

A netstat -ntap shows the following:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8906/nodejs 

The code used for the server is taken from the documentation. I have tested with adding both port and server location in .listen(). The script is run with forever. But I have also tested with just running the script with node.

I have also tested with the test server from the node.js page, with the port as the only argument in listen(). Still with no luck.

Is there any configuration that I need to do to allow the server to be accessed externally? Any help would be very much appreciated.
