Have you checked your firewall? If you are using RedHat,CentOS or Scientific Linux, iptables and SELinux are up by default and they coud cause you a lot of grief. On 31 October 2012 12:01, wa <wanangu@gmail.com> wrote:
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.
