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

[Mike Barry]

sudo netstat -taupen

will tell you what ports are being listened to on the server side (but it may be hard to weed through that output). The
client side script should be specifying the port it wants to connect to. You can check the client script for the port
it wants to open with the output of the netstat command to see if that port is indeed open. Maybe the server side
is running fine and it’s a firewall issue?

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.

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.
