I submitted an ER for this a couple of days ago.</P> <P>If it's linux, definitely check iptables like gkanapathy said. It took me a while to figure out why I couldn't connect..</P> Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:44:06 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Cannot-connect-using-Splunk-client/m-p/34627#M1158 Brian_Osburn 2010-08-21T00:44:06Z
