I try to connect to localhost with telnet:
% telnet localhost 6311
This connection succeed, but when I connect by external IP of my computer, connection fails:
% telnet x.x.x.x 6311
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to x.x.x.x
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
What could be wrong?

The problem was with the service ( that was running on 6311) The servise just was not configured to work with remote access.
It means, telnet was OK :)

Check what IP server is listening to. I am suspecting that your server is listening to localhost or 127.0.0.1. Make it listen to 0.0.0.0 (probably via some conf file).
You can verify it by running
netstat -tapnl | grep 6311
Check if it shows 127.0.0.1:6311 or 0.0.0.0:6311

Firstly, the site address. Try on SuperUser or ServerFault. – H2CO3 – 2013-05-05T13:29:36.770
I checked :
% sudo telnet x.x.x.x 6311

It's not a web server there, it is RServe.. Then I don't have any site address... – None – 2013-05-05T13:36:05.997
