GnuMP3D only works on local internet

[Taorluath]

I'm running a Xubuntu 8.10 server and I just started using GnuMP3D for my music server.
Amazingly, it seems to work flawlessly right off the bat. However, this only works on my local network. My main site works from anywhere, and http://euroburchills.no-ip.org:8888 works too, but only from computers on my network.

Like if I view it from the browser on my server, I'd see everything. It also works on any computer connected to the same router. However, no one else can load the page.
I believe that I changed the config file so that it should be visible to everyone, but nothing seems to work.
Maybe I screwed the file up. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Could I possibly borrow the config file (removed of all personal information of course) from someone who got their site to work on the world wide internet?

Maybe port 8888 is blocked at your external firewall?

Second that.  It looks to me like port 8888 is being blocked.  Did you try
making sure that appropriate Iptables rules are set up?  Something like `-i
eth0 -p tcp --dport 8888 -j ACCEPT`.  It looks like you have 'DROP' as the
default policy in your firewall rules.

I third that...

port scanning your domain euroburchills.no-ip.org (IP: 98.223.89.15) I get only port 80 open.

Probably need to take a closer look at your firewall rules.  Not on your computer, but on your actual firewall.

You mean being blocked by the router?  I don't think I'm using any firewall, at least any firewall that didn't come pre-installed.
 I'm using the same port-forwarding technique (in the router setup) that I use for Port 80 for my site, so why would 80 work, but not 8888? I COULD just change the port from 8888 to something else, if it would make it easier...
For example, I've done SSHing without having to change stuff like this (but not on port 8888, of course).

Sorry for being so inept at using iptables... So far I've managed to avoid every using them.

I tried
"iptables -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8888 -j ACCEPT"
and got:
"iptables v1.3.8: no command specified
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information."

Do you know what the correct command should be?  And possibly any succinct iptable guides for newbies?
