Troubles with remote OpenOffice connection

[jaba]

Hi everyone,

I'm experienced some troubles with the remote openoffice connection.
I have configured an Alfresco server on one machine and Open Office to run on another machine on the 8100 tcp port.
My remote-openoffice-context.xml is below

I can see in the logs that the remote-openoffice is trying to open a connection :
18:03:00,017  DEBUG [openoffice.connection.SocketOpenOfficeConnection] connecting

But using Tcpdump i can see that no connection is occuring from my serveur to the Open Office machine:
root@alfresco:~ # tcpdump -X -s 1412 -nn -vvv host openoffice
tcpdump: listening on en2, link-type 1, capture size 1412 bytes
……nothing

I have no more idea where to look
Any help is welcome
Thanks

Is open office actually running on the remote machine?    

And are there firewalls in the way?

Hi mrogers,

Yes, Open Office is running on a "distant" server inside a terminal.
Both servers are on the same LAN with no firewall in between.
I can telnet the 8100 port of the Open Office 'server' from the Alfresco server.

Regards,
