http://192.168.0.3:8080     should work?

thank you so much for helping me, Lisa.
port 80 does not seem to be open but 8080 is. Would you recommend changing the port in the xbmc box to 8080 or opening 80. No matter the recomendation would you show me how to open ports? That brings a question.... what is the difference between port 8080 and port 80?

You need to troubleshoot the networking issues.

In OSI troubleshooting, the issue will always be on either side of where you are experiencing the issue.

So, you want to verify that the ports are open.  

I like using a tool called nmap for that (although nc/netstat will also do this):

yum install nmap

nmap $IPADDRESS

netstat -antp  

Is port 80 running?

as such my post reads:

What am I doing wrong? (both the laptop and xbmc server run an ubuntu derivative) (a firewall is not running)

I would go back over your HTTP settings and then run an nmap from another local system or your android to verify that port 80 is actually open.

If the error says there is nothing answering there is nothing answering!
