I'd double-check that orkney is the name of your router and NOT your
Windows machine.  If orkney *is* your Windows box, then it would be no
surprise that port 8080 isn't being routed to the Linux box.

Also make sure that port 8080 is not blocked if Linux is running any
kind of firewall.

Those are my best guesses, everything else you described sounds fine.

HTH,
