Please help with Client / Server Blues.

[Sindh]

Hi folks
I am trying to create a socket connection between two linux boxen.

server is as below. Then when I try to connect to the socket from other
machine which is connected via ethernet , [ which is up], it says
connection
refused.
But if I try to run both cli and server on the same machine with
127.0.0.1
if works without any problem.

my way of connecting is

from socket import *
s=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect("192.168.122.2",50000)

error message given is
  Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused')

can you locate where I'm doing wrong.

Thanks
sreekant
