A listen address of 0.0.0.0 merely means that the socket is bound to all
network adapters on the machine, and will therefore accept requests from any
interface.  I'd be much more worried if the address *wasn't* 0.0.0.0.

Bill, are you sure there's no firewalling software active that is preventing
access?
