can't connect to CIFs port remotely - Urgent please help

[roshan]

I have installed and re-installed alfresco 3.4c many times, with old data, and no data. 

I can telnet to localhost on port 445, but I can't connect to it from a remote machine, and i have ubuntu and there is no firewall.

Please help, I don't know what else to look at.

Here is my config:
tcp6       0      0 :::139                  :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::6060                 :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::50508                :::*                    LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::47982                :::*                    LISTEN

I got it working because for some reason JAva/alfresco did not like external connections to that port.  SO i used it on ports 1145, 1138,1137,1139 and used IP forwarding as noted here.
