CentOS - Aug 2009 - Strange connectivity problem from linux.

Hi I have been facing a strange connectivity problem from CentOS and
Fedora boxes.

When I telnet to
$ telnet adp.eease.com 443

it works fine some times and every 5-10 tries or so it says connection
refused. And this does not happen from my windows box.

Can anyone from this list try this on their linux installation and see
if they get the same behaviour?

Thanks
Tharun

I could only connect 3 times out of 10. This was from my
Mac laptop running Leopard. It would appear that something abnormal
is happening on this host.

[lanny at dell2400 ~]$ telnet adp.eease.com 443
Trying 209.168.243.5...
telnet: connect to address 209.168.243.5: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[lanny at dell2400 ~]$

BTW:  I have telnet and anonymous FTP disabled on my web sites.
Suggest the person in charge of that box switch to SSH.
