The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't telnet to an open port.

Asked by HappyEngineer in Linux Setup, Linux Networking

Tags: port, open, 8080, telnet

I have two systems connected to the same router. One is a WinXP machine and the other is CentOS 4. Both machines can ping each other (after I enabled icmp responses in the windows firewall). I can also transfer files from the WinXP machine to the CentOS machine using an sftp client.

On the CentOS machine I can "telnet localhost 8080" to connect to the webapp server (Jetty). But, I can't telnet to port 8080 from the WinXP machien to the CentOS machien.

In short, I have a jetty webapp server running on port 8080 on the CentOS machine and I want to be able to connect to it from the WinXP machine. If I run tcpdump on the CentOS machine and do "telnet 192.168.42.101 8080" from the winxp machine then it outputs the following on the CentOS machine and eventually times out with "Connecting To 192.168.42.101...Could not open connection to the host, on port 8080: Connect failed" on the winxp machine.

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
