hi Itamar,Spice-devel team,

Adding some more info to the issue.
 
I also checked on my host using " vdsClient -s 0 list | grep displayPort" that there were 6 ports open and listening for my 6 running Vms (5900,5901....) [also verified by trying to telnet to that port from my machine containing the engine]. 

+ tried suggestion on this bug report  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805552 . That did not help my case.

cc-ing spice-devel to help with this.

client has communication to host, which has iptables stopped.
error from client seems to be:

Hi Itamar,

My browser with the spice-xpi is running on the same server running the
management engine. So I  can you ping that private IP address from the
client I am trying to connect with spice.

       Hi Itamar,

       The Host that I have added is a Private IP machine (10.10.x.x) .
       it does
       not have a FQDN. I am able to ping and ssh from my management
       (ovirt-engine node) to the host (Fedora16+VDSM)
       Iptables is also stopped for the host. Is there some specific
       port that
       SPICE requires to connect ?

         From the engine I am able to create Vms and do other operations on
       them, its only that the console is not connecting.


   question is can you ping that private IP address from the client you
   are trying to connect with spice from (spice opens from client to
   host running the VM)

               Hi Itamar,

               During the installation of the ovirt-engine I have
       followed the
               steps as
               mentioned on your website/wiki. All other functionality are
               fine, its
               only the console that is giving me problems. Host IP is
               resolvable. The
               fedora machine that I tried it actually the localhost
       (same VM - my
               ovirt engine is on a VM) where my ovirt-engine resides. As a
               measure to
               check if firewall is creating some problems, I stopped the
               iptables too
               (I dont think this should be the problem).


           when you added the host to engine, which ip address/hostname
       did you
           use?

                       Hi Itamar and others,

                       In reference to the problem that I had posted
       yesterday you
                       (Itamar) had
                       asked for the spice log on my machine. I have
       attached
               the spice log
                       that gets generated each time when I start the
       console (gets
                       generated

                       Also, I see connection refused but i am not sure
       on which
                       address/port
                       is it trying to connect and failing. Do I need
       to start some
                       service or
                       something. I tried disabling my firewall.. but that
               doesn't help
                       too.
                       I tried using the VNC console option too but when I
               select VNC the
                       console option itself gets disabled.

                       All the above I tried on a fedora box with
       firefox 11 +
                       spice-xpi . I
                       also gave a try with windows IE9 . That also doesnt
               work. (In IE
                       even
                       after clicking console.. I dont see any activity
       happening.)

                   did you install the host from engine, with 'configure
               iptables' ? is
                   iptables enabled on the host? is the host ip resolveable
               from client?
