[xdebug-general] xdebug in linux/centos - 'Timeout Connection To Client :-( ' message

Hello.

I've scoured the web for a couple days looking for an answer. I'm using
Netbeans8, Window7 (all current) trying to debug php on a virtual private
server.

Launching debug triggers the browser to start the application, but the IDE
remains in 'Waiting for Connection (netbeans-xdebug)'

I found this in the output log:

*Log opened at 2014-04-21 20:36:55*
*I: Checking remote connect back address.*
*I: Remote address found, connecting to 71.204.233.91:9000
<http://71.204.233.91:9000>.*
*E: Time-out connecting to client. :-(*
*Log closed at 2014-04-21 20:36:55*

71.204.233.91 is the public internet address for my Windows machine.
 Locally, it's 192.168.2.2. Don't know if that matters.

Here are the parms from php.ini for xdebug:

*;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;*

/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so*

Can you share any advice or suggestion on fixing this? I have tried most
everything that I've seen online.

Any ideas on either how to fix, or on where to look for documentation or
assistance?

Thank you.
