Cannot connect to Weblogic server from localhost

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We can connect to TCP port 7777 when we use the server's hostname. However, we cannot connect to localhost:

[root@server]# telnet localhost 7777
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

[root@server]# telnet eforms02 7777
Trying 10.64.162.31...
Connected to eforms02.
Escape character is '^]'.
