Eliza,

If the CAD has not been configured (via dsmcutil or wizard) and started on
the machine in question, then there's no TSM client service to "do" the
listening - and the GUI B/A client does not listen, either.

You can verify with netstat, like Ted said.

The CAD service, when installed via the wizard or dsmcutil is the one that
listens - but only if MANAGEDSERVICES WEBCLIENT is specified in the
associated dsm.opt file.  The wizard does put that statement in the dsm.opt,
by the way, which is why I suggested that you remove it (unless web-based
client access to the machine is desired).

Regards,
Mark

Ted,

I just checked my W2k box and 1581 is not listening.  I am running the
5.2.0.3
client.
