This topic has been discussed on this list within the last year or two, so it may be worth
your time searching the list archive.
I would suggest the following approach to your problem:
-verify that command-line maxima is actually working (as Robert
suggested);
-if it is, then remove all firewall rules and launch XMaxima.
If it connects to Maxima, then your firewall rules are the problem
and you will need to troubleshoot your firewall rules,
if it does not connect to Maxima, then post your output on this list
and perhaps someone can help.
Note that when you temporarily remove your firewall rules, you should
probably not be connected to any network.
Best,
Leo
