This could be almost anything.

What did you use as rootservers= in /etc/coda/venus.conf?

Can you actually ping the name you used as rootserver?

Can you successfully use rpc2ping to whatever you set as rootserver?

It is possible to set up a TCP connection you your machine locally with
telnet or something? (i.e. telnet <servername> 25 should connect to the
smtp port)

Does getvolinfo <servername> <rootvolname> work?

Did you use the hostname= option in server.conf?
    This binds the server to a specific network interface instead of all
    possible interfaces, so it will not even see packets that are sent
    to the loopback device.

    check /etc/coda/server.conf and lsof -i :2432 output.

Does a DNS lookup of your hostname give you the right ip-address for the
server?

    compare the output of "host `hostname`" to the ip-address of your
    network interface in the ifconfig output. If you set a hostname-ip
    mapping in /etc/hosts it might not match the actual address given by
    DHCP.

Does /etc/hosts happen to have the hostname associated with 127.0.0.1?

Do you have a firewall that stops locally originated packets from
arriving on your 'external' interface address?
