J2ME won't connect to remote socket

Question

I have a J2ME app that should connect to the socket, launched somewhere. When I run everything at localhost, it all works fine, but if I launch it on my server and try to connect it in the client, it won't connect and it throws an exception:

javax.microedition.io.ConnectionNotFoundException: error 10051 in socket::open
    at com.sun.midp.io.j2me.socket.Protocol.open0(), bci=0
    at com.sun.midp.io.j2me.socket.Protocol.connect(), bci=184

    at com.sun.midp.main.AppIsolateMIDletSuiteLoader.main(), bci=26

And here is the code that should make my app connect to the server:

    SocketConnection sc = (SocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://134.0.118.249:7997");

Also, when I connect to that address via Telnet, everything works fine. What's wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Check your server firewall and allow the traffic through port 7997.
