telnet <jabber-server> 5222 doesnt work

I tried to run telnet 5222 on client hosts and it didnt work. It worked only on the jabber server host. What could be the diagnosis/fix?

DNS problem; firewall?

It may be a problem on the server/machine name, and the client can't reach the server because it does not even know what's the IP address.

It could also be that the port 5222 is bloqued by a firewall on the server, or on an intermediate.
