He's trying to connect to a port using telnet (client) to see if a server is listening on it. I doubt by the way if a missing package is the issue. Please check first if there is a server listening on tcp 4965 netstat -ltpn | grep 4965 the output should show you which application is listening on tcp/4965 if there no output, there's nothing listening and you should fix your application first (maybe it's not started ?). If there's something listening on tcp/4965 you can try to use telnet localhost 4965 to see if you can connect or use telnet ip.nu.mb.er 4965 if the application is only listening on a single ip. use iptables -L -vnx | grep 4965 to see if theres a firewall rule blocking it (or accepting) if you have the firewall active (do you?) Please let us knwo the outcome of these commands Regards, Michel
