I ran into a similar problem with some of our systems. The issue (in our case) was that different hosts had different IP filter settings. Depending on your OS, this might be done with the ipchains, iptables or ipfilter tools (among many other ways of doing it).
Can you telnet to 192.168.181.83 port 8649 from the original host you ran gstat from?
