Running Apache 2 under VM Server Beta problem

I am running a VMware Server Beta version and the guest OS is Fedora Core 4. The host is Windows XP Pro SP 2.

Fedora has IP address of 192.168.248.128. I can ping it from Windows cmd line. I can ping the windows host from Fedora too.

I started apache 2 on port 8080 on Fedora and I have an index.html in /var/www/html.

I am not able to hit http://192.168.248.128:8080 from a browser on Windows to view index.html.

This runs fine and displays Hello world in the browser when I hit it from within Fedora. The URL I use is http://localhost:8080/index.html

When i try to browse the page, it tries for a long time, then comes out with this error:

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "" 

The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. 

Here is the ipconfig output on my host(Windows):

I am able to ssh into the Fedora guest from my windows host too.

Is there something I am missing here?
