Message; "Can't connect to Host" or "Connection refused by host" (Troubleshooting WinAppxD)
If, when attempting to connect from the Windows or Java clients, you get either of the above two messages, the Presentation Server is probably not running.

For an NT based Presentation Server (WinAppxD), see the FAQ “Service is not running” for debugging approaches. Also for NT Presentation Server:

1) Bring up the Task Manager and look for a WinAppxD process, which should tell us whether WinAppxD is running.

2) Running "netstat -a" and looking for "*.8060" (for example) in the "Local Address" list will tell you if anything is listening on the port. For example:

C:\WINDOWS> netstat -a Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP oz:1079 P66:0 LISTENING TCP oz:1650 P66:0 LISTENING TCP oz:1656 P66:0 LISTENING TCP oz:1533 P66:0 LISTENING Services for WinAppxD has a radio button giving alternatives for 'System' or 'This Account:'. The latter should be on, with UserID equal to the APPX user set up for this Presentation Server. Try reentering the password for this User Account. Then Re-IPL.

For a Unix based Presentation Server:

To see what Presentation Servers are running, execute: ps -ef | grep appxd To see what ports (prefixed with '806') are being listened to: netstat -a | grep 806 Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 *.8064 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.8068 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.8067 *.* LISTEN.

On Linix;
The iptables and ip6tables are probably getting in the way. Those restrict access to incoming ports. Try turning them off...
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ ./iptables stop ./ip6tables stop
