Do you have anything like '--status-senders' set for xymond in your
tasks.cfg file? If so, is this IP address listed?

Are you using multiple Xymon servers or should this ('0.0.0.0') be
whatever XYMONSERVERIP is set to in xymonserver.cfg?

When I had accidentally restricted access to our Xymon server, I
received errors such as 'connection refused'. In your case you get a
timeout, which tends to imply it is not connecting. If iptables and
selinux have been stopped, then I would check the settings in the
'server/etc' files to ensure that your Xymon server is configured
correctly.
