Can't use TCPIP Link Configuration

Question

I have my GroupWise system running on single NetWare 6.5 SP7 server. I have the link configuration set as UNC but I was told it is better to use TCPIP protocol. However, when I changed the link configuration to TCPIP and said the IP address to 192.168.3.3: 7101 and client server port=1677. MTA screen will show closed Post Office=1. When I make change using C1, it won't update the GroupWise system.
I used TCPCON and port 7101 and 1677 are not in case.
How can I troubleshoot the issue?
Regards
Andy

Answer 1

I plan to move GWIA to a SLES11 server and that's why I want to make sure TCPIP link work now.
I did another top-down rebuilt and restarted the server and now MTA has no Closed Office. However, GWIA won't route message now but I will create a new post.
Thanks again for you help:)

And when you load just the POA and telnet to 192.168.3.3 7101 what happens.
Again, I think you are frankly wasting your time.
