AW: admin client on NT workstation

Herve,
I remember a case, where the clients could not start, but pinging was
successful. When there's a firewall between your ADSM client an the ADSM
server, ping-attempts will likely pass the firewall and connections to
the ADSM-port will get rejected.
To determine, whether it is a TCP/IP problem or not, try to do a
Telnet ADSMSERVER PORTNUMBER
(where ADSMSERVER is the symbolic name of your server, PORTNUMBER means
the port on which ADSM communicates, usually 1500).
You should get a connection and an empty telnet window. When there is a
TCP/IP problem, you get an error messagebox instead.

Regards,
Michael
