I am having a problem trying to make tcp/ip requests to tcp/ip servers located on a Redhat 6.2 workstation. This machine is configured on the network (it can make requests to the internet via a router) and has an FTP and Interbase database server installed on it. Whenever I try to make a connection to it, even on the same box, via TCP/IP, I get messages that mostly say the connection was "actively refused". I'll admit to being a Linux newbie and then ask, does anyone have any ideas about what is blocking the request and how I could remove the blocking? Thanks in advance to anyone with any ideas and also for your patience. I have been looking at this issue myself for too long now and would really appreciate it if someone can tell me what I need to do. Thanks!
