I am trying to remotely debug the php on my Gentoo server from my PC using xdebug.

I am able to connect to xdebug from a links browser session on the remote server. However, links is nearly useless, and I would like to trigger xdebug from a graphical browser like Firefox or Chrome on my PC. In theory, this should be easy. You just request

Code:
http://cheap-domains-r-us.com/buggy.php?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=my-php-54


the same as I did in the links session on the remote server (where it worked, did I mention that?)

The problem is that making the same call from my PC's browser doesn't work. I have totally disabled my Windows Firewall and forwarded ports 9000-9001 to my PC at the router. However, xdebug is setting a cookie in my browser, so that is a positive.

xdebug.log:
Code:
Log opened at 2013-08-25 21:00:28
I: Checking remote connect back address.
I: Remote address found, connecting to xx.zzz.xx.yyy:9000.
E: Could not connect to client. :-(
Log closed at 2013-08-25 21:00:31



nc -v xxx.yy.zzz.aa 9000

Code:
homepc.verizon.com [xx.yyy.zz.aaa] 9000 (?) : No route to host



netstat -aon | grep 9000
Code:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      off (0.00/0/0)

I am not sure what that off bit at the end of the netstat command means. So this one has me stumped.

A bit more information. I installed wireshark on my PC and looked at the traffic generated from the browser request. There was no incoming or outgoing traffic on port 9000. Just three requests on port 80 to the remote server, along with responses. The responses were on high-number ports, like 49765.

On the remote linux box:

# tcpdump -nnvvXSx port 9000
Code:
error : ret -1
