At least twice, this "hanging" was so extreme, that it required me to trip the power-switch in order to force a reboot.  Xitami did however, seem to continue serving web-content at a steady rate, even with the PC hanging as such.

Did you open the port outbound on your firewall?

I personally portshift with no problem

eg "portbase=1234" in defaults.cfg

then http port = 80+1234

anf ftp port = 21+1234
