Redhat workstation blocking tcp/ip requests?



I am having a problem trying to make tcp/ip requests to tcp/ip servers
located on a Redhat 6.2 workstation.  This machine is configured on the
network (it can make requests to the internet via a router) and has an FTP
and Interbase database server installed on it.  Whenever I try to make a
connection to it, even on the same box, via TCP/IP, I get messages that
mostly say the connection was "actively refused".  I'll admit to being  a
Linux newbie and then ask, does anyone have any ideas about what is blocking
the request and how I could remove the blocking?  Thanks in advance to
anyone with any ideas and also for your patience.  I have been looking at
this issue myself for too long now and would really appreciate it if someone
can tell me what I need to do.  Thanks!
