I could get the following ports opened for testing from my system (Bangalore) to JBoss server (UK) as there is a Firewall 4457 - serverBindPort 14000 - secondaryBindPort 14001 - secondaryConnectPort However I got the same error as below 2010-06-03 20:18:23,709 ERROR org.jboss.remoting.transport.bisocket.BisocketServ *erInvoker [] - unable to create control connection after 10 retries* java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect         at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)         at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source)         at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source)         at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source)         at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source)         at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source)         at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source)         at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source)         at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source) Then I did the following, Tried a telnet command from my box for 4457, 14000 and 14001. The telnet opened only for 4457 and 14000 and not for *14001*. And I found that the JBoss Server is not listening at all on the 14001 port. netstat -an|grep 4457,  gave me, *.4457               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN and netstat -an|grep 14000, gave me, *.14000              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN But for 14001 there is no result. Any thoughts?
