There are a couple of things to look at in that case:

- Firewall:

To be sure turn off your firewall on the server for a moment and try again.

- /etc/hosts:

It can be that it has garbage at the bottom. Delete that file and
restart CCEd to let it be recreated properly:

rm /etc/hosts
/usr/sausalito/sbin/cced.init restart

- Routing table issues:

Check your routing table with these two commands:

ip route show all
route -n

You should have routes for 127.0.0.1, your own range of assigned IPs and
the default gateway.


It's one of these three issues or a combination thereof.
