Hmm. Which user is Tomcat being run as? Are you
running Tomcat as the same user as your are running
the script? Wondering if maybe there is not some type
of a port blocker installed on your system outside of
the servers. Maybe when you ran your script or one
previously maybe quite some time ago which made
outbound connections you were prompted to allow it or
not, and Tomcat running as a different user maybe
didn't cause you to get the popup about the blocked
port. Do you have any logs you can check if you have
any port blockers or personal firewalls installed?
