There are a lot of things that can be causing yo problems here, but the one that sticks out the most for me is you are running a very old version of "dsmserv" (the server code) in your post it says you are running version : ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager for AIX-RS/6000 Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.40 Is this the intended version? Could you possibly be trying to run a new version and have some old stuff left behind? If you did an upgrade to a newer version did you remember to uninstall the origianal first? Another issue, you keep implying that this is a TCP/IP problem, but it looks to be a shared memory problem. Shared memory does TCP/IP communications it just doesn't use a network card. A couple things about shared memory: it only connects from client code (dsm,dsmc, dsmadmc, etc.) to the server code on the same physical machine, the option files must be set accordingly and remember the "SHMPort" must be set to an unused port number. -- Regards, Mark D.
