I have figured this out...newbie Linux error –I was making my changes in the usr/src/freeswitch folder – i should have been using the usr/local/freeswitch folder. 

Duh!

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Can't access event socket from 0.0.0.0

I am trying to execute commands over telnet from my XP box  to my Debian FS box. I have modified the event_socket.conf.xml so that the Listen IP is 0.0.0.0, as per wiki

When i try telnet i get a Connect Failed.

If i run netstat on the FS box it shows 127.0.0.1 is listening on port 8021? It also shows my FS static IP 10.0.18.244 is listening on 5060, which is correct.

I am using the default conf on Freeswitch version 1.0.trunk 16590M  Am i missing a setting?

Any pointers would be much appreciated
