Ports 1500 and 1501 do *not* need to be bi-directional.
Connection on port 1500 is always initiated from the node to the server.
Connection on port 1501 is always from the server to the node. Just
firewall admin should set them correct.

I agree on adding the actual IP address for the TCPCLIENTADDRESS option.
This is necessary in machines with more than one network card as well.  I
usually query the activity log and search for the node to see what IP it's
actually using to connect to the TSM server.  Then I ask the administrator
to use that IP in their dsm.sys.

Also, if you are connecting over firewalls, ports 1500 and 1501 must be
open bi-directional for communication to take place.

I have had this problem with several servers.  I solved the problem on
several by utilizing the IP address in the dsm.opt as the TCPCLIENTADDRESS
instead of the node name.
