It seems that the auth port of my server (grunt) can not been reached from my home. Firewall problems?, isp problems?, Any more thing I can be missing?
you'll need to forward port 567 or allow connections to it somehow. there's a list of required ports to forward on a cpu server behind a nat/firewall. the list is somewhere on the wiki. if your cpu server has an external ip address visible to all on the internet, then the firewall is most likely filtering externaly initiated connections to ports below 1024. you pasted the ip address of the machine in your email (the part where you connect from linux on the same part: you may want to delete more than just the command line :) so i tried it from here: administrators-computer:~ andrey$ telnet 163.117.141.235 567 Trying 163.117.141.235... ^C administrators-computer:~ andrey$ telnet 163.117.141.235 17007 Trying 163.117.141.235... Connected to grunt.gast.it.uc3m.es. Escape character is '^]'. [EMAIL PROTECTED] as you can see, 567 times out, while 17007 does not. most likely a firewall being overprotective. cheers!
