<br>
You can look at your destination definitions on loghost and if they are tcp destinations, you can try from loghost<br>
<br>
telnet remot_host report_port<br>
<br>
and you should see;<br>
<br>
loghost% telnet remote_host remote_port<br>
Trying 123.456.789.123...<br>
telnet: connect to address 123.456.789.123: Connection refused<br>
<br>
<br>
This would indicate that there is nothing actually running on the remote host that is listening on the port, or that there is a firewall that is rejecting the connection.<br>
