On the node side, open a command prompt and issue NETSTAT -A -N Do you see the port number listening? The TSM default is 1501, I believe.
In my case: 'TCP 0.0.0.0:1501 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING' is displayed. If the port is listening and you can't TELNET to it (assuming you have TELNET allowed through your network), it's most likely the firewall IS blocking the traffic. If not, stop/start the scheduler service as David recommends. Like others, we've been round-n-round this issue with firewall managers saying "we never change" only to find they did. ------------------------------------------------ Harold Vandeventer -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Ehresman,David E.

If you can telnet from the tsm server to the client at the port the listener is suppose to be using, than it is not a firewall problem. If the telnet attempt times out, either the cad (or scheduler) is not running, it is using a different port (see the cad startup messages in dsmwebcl.log), or there is a firewall/network issue blocking access.
