Yes it listens on localhost but not the external IP addresses.

The installation was done from the console. Restarts and config changes have
been done using RDP.
Due to the listen address differences I'm inclined to think it may be some OS
configuration problem. There isn't any firewall or Anti-Virus S/W installed
but I'll try a fresh install and see how I get on. I'll also see if I can log
the install to see if that turns anything up.
Thanks,
