 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.
