I wanted to understand a certain behavior towards accessing a port on our RHEL 5X servers. The local IP of the server is 10.101.17.80 and when I do:
netstat -tupln | grep 1399
it shows that the port is open.
But, when I try to access from another machine with local IP 10.101.17.79 on the same VMware setup like:
telnet 10.101.17.80 1399
it says connection refused. There are no IPTABLES restriction also.
I hope my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards
