Morning Skunkers,

Am in a little dilemma here, I would really appreciate a little help in this and in understanding/ fixing my situation. this may not sound more tech but i believe someone can understand it. i need to access my server through my public IP but all i get is a can't establish a connection to the server at 41.206.34....:3030. on my router all the ports are enabled and a port scan shows they are open. when i ping the server i get a reply and no timeouts. this is getting me more confused,i really cant get it. i tried to turn off the firewall and see if i can connect but nothing at all. Am using server 2008 R2 enterprise edition.

Secondly i did a port scan using mxtool box and this is the result i got.

Status	Port	Name	Result	Time (ms)
	21	ftp	No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 41.206.34…:21	0
	22	ssh	Success	640

	3306	my sql	Thread was being aborted.	0

	8080	webcache	Timeout

i need to understand what thread was being aborted means and how i can resolve this.
