Hello All,
I ran telnet on both machines:
First from the server [235] to the client [236]
Then from the client [236] to the server [235]
The result in both cases:
Trying 192.168.1.xxx
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.
I am 90% sure that you have a firewall that blocks TCP connections. Many
modern linux distros come with a default firewall which blocks all
incoming connections or allow a very limited subset of ports, like ssh
( port 22 ) and web ( port 80 and/or 443 ).
You can do a quick test by running as root ( or via sudo if needed ) one
of the following two commands on the server machine:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 3493 -j ACCEPT <== this will
enable access to port TCP/3493
or
iptables -F <=== this should disable the firewall completely. Note
that depending on the distribution that you use, a more civilized way to
( temporary ) disable the firewall exists, for instance in recent
Debian/Ubuntu you'd run /ufw disable/ while on CentOS/RHEL you'd use
/systemctl stop firewalld ( /with the obvious /ufw enable/ resp
/systemctl start firewalld/ to enable the firewall back )
If I am right, once you've allowed the incoming connection, repeating
the telnet command should succeed. In this case you must modify the
firewall and add a permanent rule to allow the connection.
