Hi David, No there is no firewall. We have two servers in that domain, and until this week we could login to both with TCP port = blank. This week I can still login to the other server with TCP = blank, so that indicates network is not a problem...
Thanks!

The initial traffic from the client to the server uses UDP if the TCP port is blank. This is an initial conversation to the portmapper to figure out which TCP port to use to carry on the conversation. Most network folks have UDP blocked in the firewall rules.

As far as I can tell, portmapper is running. It's on a Solaris box, and I can see arserverd processes in the rpcinfo listing. But I am really weak on rpcinfo and portmapper. Do you have any advice on how to check that portmapper is running properly on a unix box? Thanks!

It sounds like it's trying to register itself with the portmapper but can't. Do you have the portmapper service running?

I've seen similar errors when the plugins aren't properly initialized (although I understand you don't see any errors in the logs).
