RedisDesktopManager not connecting to remote redis server

I had a perfectly running remote redis-server on my LAN (@ x.x.x.x:p). I was able to use the RedisDesktopManager to view the server contents. However, there were a lot of dangling connections to my server from different clients (subscribed to channels) which I wanted to close so I used the SHUTDOWN command from the console of the desktop manager. Since them, I am unable to connect to the remote server. The desktop manager is running and lets me add a new redis-server connection but I am not able to connect to the previous server connection. Whenever I try to connect to the server @ x.x.x.x:p, the desktop manager terminates. I have not made any configuration changes to the previously running server so I am sure that I am not making any mistake with port bindings. Any help on what I am missing will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Can you connect to your remote server using telnet or redis-cli? Is the remote Redis server up at all? (BTW, don't give your server's IP and port here... that's just inviting trouble) - Itamar Haber
If I understand correctly, you performed a shutdown, and since then you can't connect to Redis? Did you relaunch the server? - Pascal Le Merrer
I tried relaunching the server but it is not starting up. - BajajG
If it is not starting up it is a different issue than not able to connect. What error do you get when you try to start it? - Ofir Luzon
The remote server is running on a VM so I use port forwarding to remotely connect to the server. I am using a redis remote desktop client to connect to the server. When I enter some random server IP, I get a "Can't connect to redis-server" error. But, when I try to connect to the remote redis-server, the desktop client is force closed without displaying any error. - BajajG

The problem was with the configuration binding. The bind line in the configuration file was originally bind 132.168.131.129 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0. I changed it to bind x.x.131.129. The server connection was restored.
