What do you mean by opening a port when you donot have your firewall.
Do you meant to say you want some programs to listen in port 8000? or
you have a program listening in port 8000 and you want to access it
from outside the machine? In the second case if no firewall is there,
you should be able to access it from outside the machine

First, you might like to know what ports are open in your linux box
..... try for your linux box.

#nmap -sT -O localhost

Are you sure you don't have any firewall configured? If yes, for
iptables ... should you are connected via ethernet.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
