Connection refused indicates that you can't even get a TCP connection to 
the FD. You can actually verify that with telnet. On the server, type:

telnet arabella-100.example.com 9102

The list of possible reasons for this is fairly short:

- The FD isn't running. Use netstat -ltunp to confirm that it is running 
and listening on port 9102, and on the correct ethernet interface.
- A firewall blocks access to the FD.
- The new machine isn't properly set up on the network (use ping to 
confirm that it works).

That's pretty much it.
