I've seen this problem before, trying to remember what fixed it. 
Make sure you have the following in your server config file: 
"<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  Both zones and console (if enabled).  Defaults are shown --> 
		<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>" 
 
You want localhost. Also, try disabling any software firewalls/antivirus on the server.
