When I use telnet to try a port on a server, I get the following:
telnet x.x.x.x xxxx
Connecting To x.x.x.x...Could not open connection to the host, on port xxxx: Connect failed
But if I try with a telnet tool on the web (for example http://www.adminkit.net/telnet.aspx) the connection can be opened successfully.
I assume the problem is in the local computer. I have tried turning off the firewall but that didn't help.
Which are the possible reasons for this?
The server is in a different network. Do you mean I need to open the port in local computer? – ig343 – 2016-08-10T02:51:42.467
if you have a software firewall, like windows firewall or other types of firewalls on local computer installed yes you will need to add the port there. If you have a router or modem that is also a router. They both generally have a firewall too, so it is necessary to log into them to add the port there as well. – Frostalf – 2016-08-10T03:00:27.147
