I left listen_address blank - still I can't connect (connection refused).
"cqlsh" -> OK
"cqlsh ubuntu" -> fail ("ubuntu" is my hostname)
"cqlsh 192.168.111.136" -> fail
"telnet 192.168.111.136 9042" from outside the VM gives me a "connection
refused".
I just started a Tomcat in my VM and did a "telnet 192.168.111.136 8080"
from outside the VM - and got the expected result ("Connected to
192.168.111.136. Escape character is '^]'.
So what's so special in Cassandra?
