Please help me in resolving this. I tried changing to different port number but no luck.

Have you checked to make sure OpenOffice is running headless? (By default I don't believe it is listening on any port).
To run openoffice as a listening service in MS Windows (Linux it's way easier), see this article:

https://groups.google.com/g/openmeeting ... ONkb-1QBLk

Next ensure Windows is listening on the expected port (default is generally port 2002).
the command:

netstat -an should show you the ports being listened on

You may also need to check your firewall (disable any firewall services including the internal MS windows firewall first to make sure firewall are not block local services)

Hopefully, that will help. Feel free to respond if none of these work. I've had OpenOffice/LibreOffice running for a few years and it's worked well for me. Cheers.
