This could be almost anything.
What did you use as rootservers= in /etc/coda/venus.conf?
Can you actually ping the name you used as rootserver?
Can you successfully use rpc2ping to whatever you set as rootserver?
It is possible to set up a TCP connection you your machine locally with
telnet or something? (i.e. telnet <servername> 25 should connect to the
smtp port)
Does getvolinfo <servername> <rootvolname> work?
Did you use the hostname= option in server.conf?
This binds the server to a specific network interface instead of all
possible interfaces, so it will not even see packets that are sent
to the loopback device.
check /etc/coda/server.conf and lsof -i :2432 output.
Does a DNS lookup of your hostname give you the right ip-address for the
server?
compare the output of "host `hostname`" to the ip-address of your
network interface in the ifconfig output. If you set a hostname-ip
mapping in /etc/hosts it might not match the actual address given by
DHCP.
Does /etc/hosts happen to have the hostname associated with 127.0.0.1?
Do you have a firewall that stops locally originated packets from
arriving on your 'external' interface address?
