DB2 jdbc connection error Connection refused. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001

Question

I have a new DB2 server (v10.5.0.3), and I can connect to the database locally just fine.

When trying to connect from a remote server using JDBC I am getting the "Connection refused. ERRORCODE=-4499, SQLSTATE=08001" error. Based on information found here https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21403644 I have confirmed that

[db2inst1@db2 ~]$ db2set -all
[i] DB2COMM=TCPIP
[i] DB2AUTOSTART=YES
[g] DB2SYSTEM=db2.xxxx.com
[g] DB2INSTDEF=db2inst1
[g] DB2ADMINSERVER=xxxxxx

and

[db2inst1@db2 ~]$ db2 get database manager configuration | grep -i svce
 TCP/IP Service name                          (SVCENAME) = 50001
 SSL service name                         (SSL_SVCENAME) = 

with these JDBC connection values

driver=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
url=jdbc:db2://db2.xxxxx.com:50001/TESTGEN
username=XXXXXXXX
password=XXXXXXX

I have verified that the firewall on the both servers have opened ports 50000 and 50001. I've run out of ideas, any help is greatly appreciated.

Solution

I had the same trouble... Its was caused by IPV6... The URL connection point to localhost, resolved as ::1 (the IPV6 address of localhost) and DB2 server doens't listing IPV6 protocol.

I resolved by modify the c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\host file : I uncomment the line 127.0.0.1 locahost to force ipv4 resolution name of locahost... and it's works.

I hope that helps. (sorry for my English)

Telnet has nothing to do with it. The DB2 process wasn't running.

What you mean is to test the port if it is open: telnet IPserver DB2port, telnet 192.168.0.1 50000
