Eliza, If the CAD has not been configured (via dsmcutil or wizard) and started on the machine in question, then there's no TSM client service to "do" the listening - and the GUI B/A client does not listen, either.
You can verify with netstat, like Ted said. The CAD service, when installed via the wizard or dsmcutil is the one that listens - but only if MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT is specified in the associated dsm.opt file. The wizard does put that statement in the dsm.opt, by the way, which is why I suggested that you remove it (unless web-based client access to the machine is desired).
