OK, so gnump3d is configured properly to listen to port 8888.

As you've already determined above, gnump3d is working OK, so there's 
nothing you need to do to your gnump3d.conf file. You probly just need 
to open a hole in the FC2 firewall so that external requests to port 
8888 are processed.

As root (or su'd), run 'system-config-securitylevel' from a terminal and 
add the custom port/protocol of 8000:tcp.
