[baltimorepm] help with Net::HL7::Connection

Dawn,
Could be the firewall on the new machine - for the default one that comes with Windows 7 check this link for how to find the location of where that is set.

The Windows' box Anti-virus might have it's own firewall and logs as well / in place of the default one for Windows.
You could also watch the connections coming and going on the linux side with netsta or losf, e.g.

Windows, via the command prompt also has a 'netstat' 

Wireshark and tshark are also good tools when it comes time to look at packet-level diagnostics:

 Subject: [baltimorepm] help with Net::HL7::Connection
   
At work we had a Windows XP computer setup to collect lab results from Quest. That data was parsed and transferred to our mysql database (on a CentOS server) using Net::HL7::Connection. Recently we had to upgrade to Windows 7 for the capturing computer. So I'm using Windows 7 to collect blood work data from Quest. 
The scripts that were on the XP machine seem to work pretty well on the 7 box too, so I am able to get the data parsed and ready for transport to my mysql database server, but it doesn't send. 
I am getting a "Could not connect. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" error. 
Net::HL7::Connection takes a host and port but no password or anything. I figure I'm supposed to open a port on the db server to allow this incoming connection, but I'm having trouble figuring that part out. I don't know where to look on the centos server to see if a port is open for the other xp computer, what file to edit... etc. 
Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Dawn
