Hello and thanks for you answer. I have checked the HLADDRESS and LLADDRESS values and they are correct. I don't know if something is buggy, but when starting dsmcad it won't bind to port 1501 even if I use TCPCLIENTPORT or not. The lsof command shows this:
dsmcad 3095 root 4u IPv4 500722 TCP *:41363 (LISTEN) If it might be of some help, this a RedHat Linux 9 server.

(You can verify what the client is listening on via the 'lsof' command or equivalent.) Note that you are using SESSIONINITiation SERVEROnly, which says that the server will initiate the session according to the node definition HLADDRESS and LLADDRESS values. Check those, and inspect the server Activity Log for anomalies in attempting sessions with that client. Use DEFine CLIENTAction to experiment and prove session capability through the firewall.
