I saw a recent post about ADSM thru a firewall and I saved
it, but its looking like I need a bit more info.

I am just starting to add clients outside of our firewall.

I have had the networking folks open port 1500 up bidirectional,
but they tell me that this route of traffic goes through a
Checkpoint Router (not sure if that makes any difference) and
they've opened up communication between the net that our server
sits on and the net of the machines outside the firewall.

In the dsm.opt file I specified my SErvername (ADSMserver, for example).
In the dsm.sys file I have:

SERVERname  ADSMserver
   COMMmethod         TCPip
   TCPPort            1500
   TCPServeraddress   ADSMserver
   TCPWindowsize      120
   TxnByteLimit       25600
   inclexcl           /etc/include_exclude
   schedlogname       /var/adm/adsmsched.log
   schedlogretention  2 D
   schedmode          prompted
   passwordaccess     generate

When I try and run the first incr from the client I get:

clientname# dsmc

What am I missing here?  I've even tried fully qualifying the server
name to ADSMserver.synopsys.com with no change in error message.
