Help - tcp/ip port refusing connection (908 errors)

Hi all, In my continuing 908 saga for my Linux IDS2000 server, I've found (thanks Martyn) that the port I've configured for tcp is refusing connections from other clients (though on-machine connections are working). telnet <portno> fails with a "Connection Refused" error from any client machine Does anyone know what I should be looking at to allow connections on this port (is there any config option for tcp/ip or linux or anything else that's causing this?) Thanks Fuzzy :-)

Check you firewall configuration. May bee this port is blocked by firewall? You can to do this with command 'ipchains -L'. Good luck. Sergey.

Try telnet <machine ip having IDS>. U dont have to specify the port in the client savio Fuzzy <granta@nospam.student.canberra.edu.au> wrote in message news:39f4bb88.1901464@newshost.interact.net.au... > Hi all, > > In my continuing 908 saga for my Linux IDS2000 server, I've found > (thanks Martyn) that the port I've configured for tcp is refusing > connections from other clients (though on-machine connections are > working). telnet <portno> fails with a "Connection Refused" error > from any client machine > > Does anyone know what I should be looking at to allow connections on > this port (is there any config option for tcp/ip or linux or anything > else that's causing this?) > > Thanks > Fuzzy > :-) >
