It looks fine to me. The reason there are two listening sockets is most
likely that one is IPv4 and the other is IPv6 --- netstat's default display
fails to distinguish this (at least on Linux), but you can see it if you
do "netstat -l -n".

You're going to have to give more detail (like exactly what you tried
and exactly what happened) if you want help with that. It could be a
firewall issue, but that's strictly a guess.
