If it's saying "connection refused" then it's a problem with the
/etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow files. By default, you deny
connections from all hosts and only allow those from FermiLab. Add in to
the /etc/hosts.allow file the following lines:

ALL: <ip address you want to connect from>

If you don't want to allow access to all functions (ftp, telnet, mountd,
etc) then you replace ALL with those you want to allow. For example,
telnetd: <ip you want to telnet from>

Hope this helps.
