Any chance you've got IP Tables running on it? I've spent hours
debugging strange problems before only for them to turn out to be
vendor default IP tables configurations (Thanks, Red Hat!). In fact,
'iptables -L -n' has turned into one of the first things I do whenever
I have any sort of problem at all.  Along the same line, could always
be a SELinux policy as well.  The second thing I usually do?
'setenforce 0.'

Also, by "doesn't work", what do you mean?  Does it just hang and
never reply? Do you get a connection refused message?
