could it be that you have a firewall (software?) that is running on that Win2003 system? And that this firewall allows connections done by certain apps only? ----- Original Message ----- From: Rainer Jochim (mailto:rjoc...@soleica.ca) To: Servers Alive Discussion List (mailto:salive@woodstone.nu) Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 10:45 PM Subject: [SA-list] False "Connection possible" result
Hello all, We run a telnet check to an IP on port 9100. Servers Alive 62 returns Connection possible. Running the command manually on the same machine (Windows Server 2003) returns Connecting to... xyz... Could not open connection to the host, on port 9100: Connect failed Why would Servers Alive not return an error in that case?
