Could it be so obvious? :-))
If you don't enter a port#, any browser will default to port 80
(decimal).
So, you should either change the setting for ECS (as I did with my
Joshua) or force the ":3000" in the remote address. But in the second
case you may have proxy troubles or things like those.
So, unless you (or anybody else) is having a Web server installed, I
suggest changing it. Proxy (such as Wingate) don't have this problem, as
you can always move them to another port (there is no default, 8080 is
just a suggestion).

Did you incorporate also a FTP server, or mail server, or telnet server?
They are less useful than HTML/JAVA, but you could use FTP or telnet to
get (or set) status in text-only window mode. Or you could get emails to
alert the user. It's fast (faster than Java!! You did a great job!) and
easy in C++.
