If wget works locally, I would suspect a firewall is blocking port 10000
between your server and the client PC. Try running the command :

tcpdump port 10000

as root on the Webmin server, and then connecting using your browser. If no
packets get displayed by the tcpdump command, then something must be blocking
them.
