Re: How to get connection to remote host

To check if a server is listening at a particular port or not - you
have to follow the following steps in the command prompt:

telnet <server-name> <port>

Note: the port for http protocol defaults to 80 and that for https
protocol defaults to 443.

Cheers,
Jan

how can i resolve it

thanks and regards,

Make sure a few things:
1. The remote host is listening on the port you are trying to connect
to (often 80, or 8080)
2. The host you are connecting to is reachable from the host you are
on. (using ping, for instance)
3. You are specifying the correct host name and port.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
