I have a server application written in java when I run the server in Linux and the client on Windows I am not able to connect to the server I get a Connection refused exception. The server aplication uses the port 5050. After running the server application i even used netstat command to find if the server is listening on the specified port and it was Listening.. But the client would not connect . But when I run the server application in Windows and the client in Linux am able to connect to the server application. Pls Help

Thanks,
Sweety.

any firewalls blocking traffic to port 5050?

Code:

iptables -nvL

should help you ascertain that.

You can also run

Code:

tcpdump port 5050

to check what exactly is happening.
