I am unable to open a port in Fedora 7 to use a tracking application. The application server is running on the Fedora box and can connect locally, but the client from win or mac boxes is not able to connect. I am also not able to connect through telnet. The application is using simple xmlrpc.
I have turned off the firewall, iptables, and selinux and still am not able to connect. Making any changes through the gui or command line to open a port, is not holding.
Using this sample code from

Code: ( text )
1. # Server code
2.
3. import SimpleXMLRPCServer
4.
5. class StringFunctions:
6. def __init__(self):
7. # Make all of the Python string functions available through
8. # python_string.func_name
9. import string
10. self.python_string = string
11.
12. def _privateFunction(self):
13. # This function cannot be called through XML-RPC because it
14. # starts with an '_'
15. pass
16.
17. def chop_in_half(self, astr):
18. return astr[:len(astr)/2]
19.
20. def repeat(self, astr, times):
21. return astr * times
22.
23. server = SimpleXMLRPCServer.SimpleXMLRPCServer(("localhost", 8000))
24. server.register_instance(StringFunctions())
25. server.register_function(lambda astr: '_' + astr, '_string')
26. server.serve_forever()
Code: ( text )
1. # Client code
2.
3. import xmlrpclib
4.
5. server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8000')
6. print server.chop_in_half('I am a confidant guy')
7. print server.repeat('Repetition is the key to learning!\n', 5)
8. print server._string('<= underscore')
9. print server.python_string.join(['I', 'like it!'], " don't ")
10. print server._privateFunction() # Will throw an exception
I can get XP machines to talk to each other and if I run it on the linux server it connects to itself, but if I try and get XP->Linux or Linux->XP I get connection errors such as
socket.error: (10061, 'connection refused')
or
socket.error: (10060, 'Operation timed out')
If I try and run the server on a port on the linux box and then from xp try to telnet to it, I get
Connecting To Linux-Server...Could not open connection to the host, on port 55670: Connect failed
But if I try to telnet from XP to the server running on a port on another XP machine, I can connect and when I type garbage I get a response, in the form of an error and the server prints out what I typed..
eg response = Message: Bad request syntax ('ssdsadsdasdasdasdasdasdasd')
server message = <my computer> - - [30/Oct/2007 17:06:50] code 400, message Bad request syntax ('ssdsadsdasdasdasdasdasdasd')
So what I need help with is what is going on with the connection between the two different operating systems? Is there anything I can try/read/look at to get this stuff working, as we/I am really stumped here. I have been trawling the internet for anything that will help and I have got nowhere.
