This is a known issue, see: http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1507


As a workaround, change your etc/zope.conf:

In front of the port number add '0.0.0.0:' to the address of each server 
section, e.g. the default http-server section should look like this:

<http-server>
   # valid keys are "address" and "force-connection-close"
   address 0.0.0.0:8080
   # force-connection-close on
</http-server>


HTH,
