dapper doesnt have a firewall installed by default so outgoing
connections are not firewalled, trying to access that site from here
shows the same error however connecting to another site on that port
http://kbreit.dyndns.org:8080/ (just random site from google) it works
fine, which would suggest to me that the site your accessing isnt
listening on port 8080, and it seems to work on the default port 80
fine.
if the above site doesnt work for you possibly u have a hardware router
thats acting as a firewall which u need to reconfigure.
