Very likely. This "just kept processing...." thing means that the browser sent a request but never got ANY reply at all - not even an error. This is not what happens if you have a problem on the server - the server always responds at least with an error. However, this is exactly what happens if the FW (firewall) is blocking the port (it's a deliberate security ploy just to ignore unwanted packets - then the sender doesn't know if he's being denied or if it's just network latency. This slows down his attack). See your next question for more...
