I have two server with these specifications:
-
IP address: 192.168.1.94
-
IP address: 192.168.1.221
I want to telnet
to the first one from the second one (to port 5029) but I get this error:
root@debian:~# telnet 192.168.1.94 5029
Trying 192.168.1.94...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I can telnet from 192.168.1.94 to itself. this means that a program is listening to 5029 port:
[root@myelastix ~]# telnet localhost 5029
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to myelastix.mohaymen.co (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
I thought may be firewall is blocking connection in 192.168.1.94 server but these are firewall rules:
[root@myelastix ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
besides I stopped iptables also but nothing happens again:
[root@myelastix ~]# service iptables stop
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
what is the problem?

Can you do this?
If not, make sure
telnetd
is configured to listen on an external interface.
