title: How to configure cassandra for remote connection
body: <p>I am trying to configure Cassandra Datastax Community Edition for remote connection on windows, </p>
  
  <p>Cassandra Server is installed on a Windows 7 PC, <strong>With the local CQLSH it connects perfectly to the local server.</strong></p>
  
  <p>But when i try to connect <strong>with CQLSH from another PC in the same Network, i get this error message:</strong> </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'MYHOST':
    error(10061, "Tried connecting to [('HOST_IP', 9042)]. Last error: No
    connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
    it")})</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So i am wondering how to configure correctly (what changes should i make on cassandra.yaml config file) the Cassandra server to allow  remote connections.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
