The ports should be "open" for services that are running. Usually, when the remote box does not have a service running on the port, you will see "closed".

"Filtered" usually means something is blocking access to the port - usually a firewall or other networking device.

let me try installing on another server to see if that will work.

Hey Scater, sounds like you got this working via the Quickstart this morning, if you have further questions on this feel free to ask us to open this thread again.
