Is this a Linux of Windows VPS? If it's Linux, you can use "netstat -lan | grep -i tcp" to see all connections in or out. This should give you a good idea of what is connected currently.
The first time I ran bitcoind, it took a long time for the RPC server to get up and running. I am not sure why, but it might have to set up a number of things the first time it runs.
Make sure your bitcoin.conf files is set up. Again, in Linux this will be in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf. Mine looks like this:
rpcuser=bitsinorpc rpcpassword=akjcv093k92nfo9sSDFck3n92MCodklmw23
And finally, I choose to run bitcoind as a daemon: "./bitcoind -daemon"
