how do I check these? I KNOW none of these commands and cant find one on the website

@WrCombs by default a salt minion will try communicate with a master named salt.

@WrCombs from your minion first try to ping your salt master by hostname so:
ping salt - 
yes,
I read that part. -

Here is how to see the firewall rules for the public zone...

That looks wrong
  That's going after the public master, not your own. - 
That would explain it refusing the key, you are contacting a different Salt Master. You need to go into /etc/hosts and put in an entry for your own Salt master.

@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:
This is one of the reasons your salt-master doesn't register the minions key

Did you follow the minion installation instructions? Setting "salt" in /etc/hosts was part of the instructions.
 - 
@scottalanmiller yes.. but it wont let me said permission denied
