As Eero said, you need to make sure something is listening on that port.
Try: netstat -ant and look for:
Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4965 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
or pipe it to grep if the server is busy (netstat -ant | grep 4965)

Thank you . How can I distinguish which package is missing from my CentOS server and try to just add it (rather than trying for a fresh CentOS re-installation) ? On another machine similar to mine , the output is as : # netstat -ant |grep 4965 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4965 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN # netstat -anp |grep 4965 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4965 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1090/iptrans # lsof -i |grep 4965 iptrans 1090 root 21u IPv4 1764 TCP *:4965 (LISTEN) On that machine , the 'telnet ip-addr 4965' can get through . So which package do I need to add to mine ?
