After some experimentation it appears that problem happens when
connection pipe starts from the Windows box. Apparently
windows:windows pipe also does not want to work (along with
windows:linux). All Linux based pipes work ; linux:windows works as
well. I tried to pipe through Windows based FB server that is not a
part of our server group and got the same error: connection rejected
by remote interface. When I use external (not part of the group –
resides on the different network) Linux FB server as the beginning of
the pipe, everything works…

I tried pipe linux:windows on my local network (different location
from our server group) and it works, but l windows:linux does not. I
do not have another Windows server locally to check windows:windows
pipe….

What is wrong? I have checked (just in case), and Redirect=1 on all
Windows servers….
