<div>If you're using a Redhat variant check the SELinux settings and for any distro check your local firewall config.</div>
<div>Also it's not uncommon for a broadband router to reject pings as it makes it harder to determine what equipment is on the other side of the wall. If you have the IP address then I could do an nmap and determine what ports are open. You can do this if you have shell access to a box outside your home network.

<div>I'd start from inside your network. Disable the service that runs on port 3000 temporarily and start netcat in listen mode on that port. Then from another pc on your lan telnet to the port and type some stuff.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then check your router. Make sure external port 3000 is port forwarded to the internal server on the same port. Determine your external IP address (sites like <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.whatismyip.net/" target="_blank">
http://www.whatismyip.net </a>will tell you that - or just look on your router).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>From a PC outside of your network try the same telnet test again on port 3000 with netcat listening.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If all else fails you can try reseting the router or changing the port to something more well known.<br><br> </div>
