I'm new to Java and also not too experienced in Linux so forgive me 
if this is a simple question, but I couldn't find it in the FAQs.

When I try to open a network socket, I get...

   java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused 

at this line...

   socket = new Socket("localhost", 8205); 

I think I may have a permission problem somewhere but I can't even 
open the socket as root. Any Ideas?

Does this sound like a host.allow or host.deny problem?

At the moment, I have written a simple client / server app to simply
get started in java networking. The problem is with anything that opens 
a port. I have compiled sample code from a few books and get the same 
error each time.

I'm using jdk 1.1.6 on Redhat 5.1 with the updated lib.

I have placed the full source on my Webpage at...
