Looks like you need to allow access to port 8080 on your public
interface.  I've never heard of complete-slut, so have no advice on how
to change it, but the commands would look something like:

EXTINT="ethx"
PUBLICPORTS="1024:65535"
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o $EXTINT -p TCP --sport 8080 \
        --dport $PUBLICPORTS -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT  -i $EXTINT -p TCP --sport $PUBLICPORTS \
        --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

Where the x in ethx would be the number of the public interface.


Good Luck,
