sonarqube maven (error connecting to maven server) - sonarqube

Question

I have installed sonarqube 5.6.6 on a linux centOS7 server.
The installation seems to be ok, given that I can access the web-interface at 95.xx.xx.xx:9000
However, whenever I try to run maven from my laptop
"mvn -X -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean verify sonar:sonar"
I get this error:
Fail to get bootstrap index from server: Failed to connect to /95.xx.xx.xx:9000: Connection refused: connect
Why is not able to connect and retrieve the index ?
When I try from my browser to go to http://95.xx.xx.xx:9000/batch/index
it returns this line:
sonar-scanner-engine-shaded-5.6.6.jar|d8869f7e1501c7163b7cfbec9ed6ff1d
Hence I don't understand why Maven can't access that url.
Thx a lot,
Best Regards

As you are able to access the SQ pages from browser from your laptop. Then network connectivity to the instance seems fine. I would check on the authorization of the SQ to check if anyuser can initiate a scan. If restricted user can initiate the scan then I will have to pass the config in the POM.xml
See http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Authorization#Authorization-ProjectPermissions
