Many servers have VNC on them for ease of access. When you hover the mouse on the VNC icon it gives you the IP address. This server gives us 127.0.0.1 ...
Not so bad, because we can still connect, but it's strange.

Now for the problem. We have a registration server which should be listening on port X

A netstat tells us :

TCP HOSTNAME : X HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.COM:0 LISTENING

The firewall is off.

We've tried launching the client from another machine and get bad results. We've tried the client from the server with the IP address and get same bad results. We've tried the client on the server with localhost and it works...


The windows firewall is off, our main router/firewall allows all access for internal traffic, and there is no domain firewall set up in the Active Directory.

What am I missing?
