Check the /etc/hosts file, I had a similar problem and found it must have a 
loopback address defined - 

127.0.0.1       localhost  loghost

Simple, but easily missed.

I'm trying to recover the catalog at a DR site onto a 6.5.5 Solaris Master 
server with the same hostname as the live server yet I'm getting failed to 
execute bprestore error (25)
EXIT STATUS 25: can't connect on socket 

Any ideas???

Mick
