you'll need to forward port 567 or allow connections to it somehow.
there's a list of required ports to forward on a cpu server behind a
nat/firewall. the list is somewhere on the wiki. if your cpu server
has an external ip address visible to all on the internet, then the
firewall is most likely filtering externaly initiated connections to
ports below 1024.

you pasted the ip address of the machine in your email (the part where
you connect from linux on the same part: you may want to delete more
than just the command line :) so i tried it from here:

administrators-computer:~ andrey$ telnet 163.117.141.235 567
Trying 163.117.141.235...
^C
administrators-computer:~ andrey$ telnet 163.117.141.235 17007
Trying 163.117.141.235...
Connected to grunt.gast.it.uc3m.es.
Escape character is '^]'.
p9sk1@gast.it.uc3m.es


as you can see, 567 times out, while 17007 does not. most likely a
firewall being overprotective.

cheers!
