troubleshooting help jquery/ajax/json no http response

I have a website uploaded into apache tomcat. The code is shown below this website suppose to retrieve json data from other server. For some reason the other server is not responding as I'm getting the error message "handshake didn't go through". Firebug net panel shows no response header also the apache and the other server are on the same domain. Can you please provide a feedback or clue on how to troubleshoot this? Is there anything with ajax cause it seems it is not sending.

Java script code:

$(document).ready( function(){
    var home_add='http://mywebsite.net:3300/gateway';
    $('#handshake').click(function(){
        alert(" sending json data");
        $.ajax({ /* start ajax function to send data */ 
                url:home_add,
                type:'POST',
                datatype:'json',
                contenttype:'text/json',
                error:function(){ alert("handshake didn't go through")}, 
                /* call disconnect function */
                data:{
                    "supportedConnectionTypes": "long-polling",
                    "channel": "/meta/handshake",
                    "version": "1:0"
                },
                success:function(data){
                    $("p").append(data+"<br/>");
                    alert("sucessful handshake");
                }                    
        })   
    })
});

Firebug time line shows DNS lookup, connecting and waiting there is no sending nor receiving. The request header is the following but there is no response.

Are you making an ajax call to a domain other than your domain (i.e. the page is from mydomain.com but the ajax call is to theirdomain.com?) If so, this isn't allowed with straight json, but you can look into jsonp (json with padding)
