Cannot Open Topology Services from client

Question

Hi, I'm using LMS 3.2 and I can open the topology services from LMS server itself.
This LMS didn't use a DNS resolution
I can telnet from my laptop to port 42342 and  43242 using the LMS IP Address and Hostname, But unfortunately I still  cannot open Topology Services from my laptop.
I already disable AV at my laptop and Ciscowork Server.
Looking forward for your advice.

Answer 1

I would suggest you need to check again for hostname issues;
1) check the hostname of the LMS server with the command "hostname" in a DOS box of the server
2) from the client try to telnet to the ports 42342 and 43242 using the hostname from step 1); like this in a DOS box on the client:
    telnet yourlmsServer 42342
3) check the entry of PX_HOST in the file
    NMSROOT\lib\classpath\md.properties
    (NMSROOT is your installation path; windows default: C:\Program Files\CSCOpx)
if the value of PX_HOST is different form the one in step 1) test if the mentioned ports are available using this name
4) if you cannot establish a connection with one of the names you have to fix this issue by either adding a DNS entry or adding the names to the clients hosts file
