Joel:
This does not sound like a TCPport problem, since you state ' I got them to
open ports 1500 -
1505 and put each client on its own port. The firewall part works, showing a
session going through w/o a problem. '

This sounds like a cluster install concern. Installing the client on a MSCS
is a little tricky as I am sure you know, the scheduler part is even more
so.

I have a procedure for installing the scheduler and it has worked fine so
far. I can provide it if you would like to verify it against how you
installed your setup..
