My TCP/IP server socket is not accepting connections from other systems. When i try to send data from the client to server within the same system i see them working fine,
Here is what i get by printing the stacktraces -

  Waiting for client on port 50000...
 java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out
 Socket timed out!

One possible cause is that your firewall is blocking the connections.

How do i check that and get through this problem?

You could try turning the firewall off for a quick moment and see if it works (don't forget to turn it back on a.s.a.p.).
