is anything listening on that port, when you look at the output of "netstat -plnt"? Is iptables allowing that port though, as per "iptables -vnL"?

Hi Acid... out put for #iptables -vnL

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 9962 packets, 8622K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
60 24565 ACCEPT udp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:5060

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 8922 packets, 1334K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 ACCEPT udp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:5060

udp? You can't use a TCP tool like telnet to conenct to a UDP service.

Hi acid there nothing listing there as port 5060 while am executing command netstat -plnt

right, so as well as it being (apparently) UDP, it's also not even running...
