I just seemingly randomly started getting the same error one day.
It made no sense why it started and I never figured out why, but 
I did manage to find a way to fix it in my case.
In my ipchains rules I opened up ports 1010-1025 or somewhere around there.
Exact port numbers should be in my previous posts if we have an archive.
These ports need to be opened on the client, not the server.  I only
opened them to the server of interest.  
I'm not sure why they need to be opened.  It worked fine before when they
were closed.  If you are not running some sort of firewall then obviously
this is not the solution to your problem.  


Hope this helps

Marc
