Do you have the PIX 501 configured to allow the connection from the IP address of the system you are trying to connect from? If not, you will need to add a line to the configuration something like:

http x.x.x.x

telnet x.x.x.x

The x.x.x.x address will be the IP address of the machine you are trying to connect from and the interface will be that which is configured with the IP address you are trying to connect to.

If you are trying to connect to the inside interface of the 501 through a VPN tunnel, you will also need the command:

management-access inside

HTH,
