Hi all,
    I still haven't been able to solve my problems with TCP/IP and ADSM.
I have tried a variety of things, but my knowledge of this system is
limited and my knowledge of AIX is not much better.  Here are some
samples of the messages I have been getting.

A sample from my dsmerror.log:
08/21/02   09:07:31 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call.
rc: -450
08/21/02   09:07:31 ANS1473E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure

/db is mounted automatically at boot, and the dsm01.log file is there.
I saw a command newlog in /usr/lpp/dsmserv/bin.  Would this command
create a new log file to use if this one is corrupted?  Also, as I said
in a previous post, I see no tcp/ip services running for dsm on 1500,
1510, 1580, etc...  Is there a command to start it, beyond `dsm &`?  I
am really stumped at this point, if anyone has any idead, please let me
know.
Thanks very much!
