how to open a port for remote access as root
 
This is a test environment and I am running as root. (Redhat 3, update 7, Java 1.5_05) I have two machines A (10.17.3.85) and B (10.17.3.87). Machine B has a service running on port 3899 that I would like to connect to from machine A. When the java program is executed from machine A, I get:

java -cp ./PersistenceService.jar com.abc.maxview.persistence.installer.PersistenceInstaller 10.17.3.87 3899 /tmp/psdata_aperia/

debug,connectToService failed: org.omg.CORBA.TRANSIENT: Retries exceeded, couldn't reconnect to 10.17.3.87:3899 vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: No org.omg.CORBA.TRANSIENT: Retries exceeded, couldn't reconnect to .java:103)

It appears the 3899 port is not open. I tried opening the port with
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 3899 -j ACCEPT but it did not seem to affect anything.

On machine B,

netstat -an|grep 3899 shows

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3899 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

nmap -v localhost shows

My first quess would be to shut off the firewall on both computers. Also are you running a CORBA clien/server? Or just trying to do a TCP connection between the two computers?

Thanks for the reply. I failed to state that I am trying to run a CORBA client/server. I would also like simply do a TCP connection between the two macines.

I turned off the firewall of both machines using

chkconfig iptables off
service iptables save
service iptables stop

The original problem still remains.
