Unable to connect to port 8080?

[mavenboard]

I have a small program that broadcasts on port 8080. I am able to reach it on other networks and on data. It is reachable locally, and on different ports. It is just the problem on port 8080. Any help?

@mavenboard -- can you configure your small program to use some other port, e.g., 8888, to see if that port can be reached from the Internet, and also from a device inside your local network?  Remember to enable "port-forwarding" on the cable-modem to the computer running that small program.

Note: using "data" means that your device is connecting via cellular to the public Internet, and then through "port-forwarding" to your "host" computer.  That's not different from any other notebook/desktop computer on the public Internet, i.e., nothing "special" about using "data" to connect to the public Internet.
