4.4. Socket Connection

Problem:

cserve: could not open a connection socket

Cause:

The Connect Server was unable to open a TCP stream socket.

Solution:

Ensure that your TCP/IP service is started correctly. On the data server, the commands similar to the following should have been executed:

    Socket -s1 myhost.mynet.mydomain &
    ifconfig lo0 localhost up
    ifconfig en1 myhost.mynet.mydomain up netmask 255.255.255.0
    portmap &
    inetd &

In Windows, consult the documentation for the appropriate TCP/IP product.

If this problem persists, ensure that the TCP resources for your installation have not been exhausted.
