I have installed cassandra on my mac osx sierra using the instructions given here
https://gist.github.com/hkhamm/a9a2b45dd749e5d3b3ae
the installation was successful and I can easily connect to the cassandra locally using cqlsh
when I do a netstat -a I see
~ > netstat -a
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state)
tcp4 0 0 localhost.9042 *.* LISTEN
when i do a nodetool status i see

So here we can see that cassandra is running but its listening on localhost:9042
How can I make it listen to 0.0.0.0 so that I can connect remotely?
If I try to connect remotely I get this error
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'A.B.C.D': error(61, "Tried connecting to [('A.B.C.D', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
The IP address A.B.C.D is 100% correct because I am connected to the machine using screen sharing for the exact same IP address.
Firewall is disabled.
I edited this file sudo vi /usr/local/Cellar/cassandra/3.10_1/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist
and modified it to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>KeepAlive</key>

</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
<string>/usr/local/var/lib/cassandra</string>
</dict>
</plist>
but this causes cassandra to even reject local connections.
Once again. I am on MACOSX and installed cassandra using HOMEBREW.
