I have a process running on a computer A that is listening on port 8080. Computer B tries to connect to it but fails. Two machines are win2k, are on same netowrk, same domain and can communicate fine. Process is definitely listening on correct port as netstat shows it is.

If I telnet to Computer A on port 8080 I get connection refused.
If I telnet to Computer A on port 139 (netbios) it connects fine.
If I then telnet to Computer A on port 8080 again it connects.

So it seems as if netbios has something to do with preventing access to the port. Ive googled for other ppl having this problem but couldn't find anything. Anyone else see this problem before? The same happens If I try and connect to computer A from a linux/unix box.

btw, neither machine has firewall
