Have a good look at the /etc/hosts.conf file, it needs to contain something like "order hosts, bind" (AIX=netsvc.conf). If that is misconfigured then you will have exactly the problems you're describing. I found this exact behaviour on an AIX system that was misconfigured. Keep working on the networking configuration until ping for localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 and nothing else.

Yep, what does /etc/hosts say about localhost. Also, what does /etc/resolv.conf look like (paste that here)? Also, what does /etc/nsswitch.conf look like - especially the hosts: line (paste that here)? >> this in my estimation is causing tc to bail. the tc 7 installed is 64 >> with a sun-oracle 64 bit jdk all fresh out-of-the-box with no config or >> changes.
