Accessing MLM on ubuntu 12.04 from a windows client

I have matlab license server running on ubuntu 64bit host. I want to access it via a remote client, with a firewall sitting inbetween. The license file on the client (in $MATLAB/licenses/network.lic) has 3 lines:

SERVER servername serverhostid 27000 
USE_SERVER
DAEMON /usr/local/matlab/R2011b/etc/glxna64/MLM port=1049

Yet it does not seem to be connecting via that port. It seems to be trying to connect at 53921 after talking to 27000.

I took the freedom to edit server name and hostid to make in anonymous. Your system administrator may not be happyy to the this on the internet :-)

• Does the corresponding server license file (on the license server) have the port=1049 addition to the DAEMON line?
• Is port 1049 blocked by something else?
• If you look at the log output from the license server, are there errors?
