Look at the listening socket to see the result of the setup. $ netstat -na | grep :631.*LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN In this example from my machine it is listening on 127.0.0.1 which isn't available to remote systems. Compare this to ssh port 22 which is open for all addresses. $ netstat -na | grep :22.*LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN Bob
