Opening up the firewall for the three additional ports fixed everything. Sorry I should have read the INSTALL doc more closely.

If this fails the client assumes that the server process isn't running and prints out that message.  Once the basic communications is established, ports 3002 & 3003 are used for the throughput tests.
