Unable to load Webmin.

I installed a tar dist. which did not work in a browser. I rm the dirs and installed via rpm.
Modified the iptables to open port 10000 and did a /etc/init.d/iptables restart......
I opened a browser and still nothing. This server is in a co location hosted by another company. Could there be a firewall that is
preventing the delivery of the webmin page to my browser?
I disable the iptables and I am getting a file not found error message in the browser.
I am at the end of the day. In the morning I will call them as well to cross all the tsss and dot all the isss.....
Thanks in advance for your assistance.


note: I have installed and used webmin in the past with no probs.
I am at a loss as to how best to troubleshoot this.

This SRVR is in a co location.
I use Putty to connect to it.
As the Admin I prefer to use Webmin which gives me the ability to use a browser from anywhere as you well know.

I used an RPM to install Webmin and Lokkit to allow the  port I am using for Webmin.
I just did a nmap scan of the port and it is closed. I will make the changes in iptables.
