Can you do it locally? For example, can you do http://ipaddress:port//tsweb in the same computer.

i tried to access the website, http://ipaddress:port//tsweb , from the same
machine and got the following error box.. (which makes sence)

"the client could not connect. You cannot connect to the console from a
console session of the same computer"
 
I would double check the firewall. also try to telnet the port from outside. can you do it?
