The following is my list of the usual suspects when server's can't be reached. Please let me know if any of these help, or if none of them help.
Check the Event Log for any error messages when you are starting the server. If there is a problem starting the server, it will be logged there. You mention problems with Telnet and Web servers; these use low-numbered ports. You might try changing the servers to use port numbers greater than 1024. If the higher port numbers work, it would indicate a problem with InterMapper's use of the 'intermapperauthd' tool to open privileged ports.
Check that you haven't inadvertantly activated the firewall on your mac. In the Terminal , type "sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable". If the firewall is enabled, the value will be 1. You can double-check the configuration of the firewall by typing "sudo ipfw list". In 10.2, the system preferences control panel allows you to configure the firewall; I believe you need a product like BrickHouse to do this on 10.1.5.
Finally, you can verify which programs are listening on which ports by typing 'lsof -i' in the Terminal. Type 'sudo lsof -i' to get a listing which includes programs from all users.

Has anybody else had problems with the servers section of InterMapper failing?
Today our InterMapper box, an iMac running OSX 10.5.1 and InterMapper 3.7.1 suddenly won�t serve up web pages. �Won�t serve up data via telnet either.
We have tried restarting the services, restarting the application, rebooting the Mac, changing ports all without success.
We tried installing IM 4.0b6 and have the same results.
Here�s the kicker... same type of failures on two different boxes. �Our secondary box is a G4, which I usually use for testing the beta stuff before turning loose software on our primary box.
We�ve used InterMapper a long, long time and have never seen anything like this. �Suddenly we�re �blind� without a means to view outages & maps via browser.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
