I believe port 9160 is the thrift port which is governed by the "rpc_address" configuration parameter in Cassandra.yaml.

I dont understand? Yes...i have the port open. I am using ip address as listen_address on cassandra.yaml. I can telnet to 7199....but 9160 is a total disaster. I can telnet from localhost but fro remote? no way. How do I open up 9160? I have both brodcast and listen_address set to the server ip address.
