Dear all,

I am faced with an error "UX ER087-0" failling to connect to the server.
Any ideas of what might be causing the error?

Many thanks

You'll need to provide more details than that. What software? What command are you running?

Hello and thank you very much for your reply,

We have an

IBM AIX
Model:RS6000

Just trying to install a software audit tool from our software supplier.
Their audit software is unable to connect to the server from XP PC, eventhough root user is being used to login.

which protocol is the software using to connect to the system

rlogin/rsh,ssh,telnet,ftp,..?

We have tried SSH and Telenet neither is working

are you able to open a telnet/ssh session manually from windows cmd or putty?

Please!

Most of us are AIX admins. Having telepathic abilities is usually not part of the job description.

You have a problem and you want us to help you solve it. What do *you* know about your system? Has even this vast amount of knowledge helped you? Obviously not, because you are asking us. How are we supposed to solve it on even less information, hm? Think about it.

Lets start over: we know already the error code, which is a symptom of the problem - ok. Lets talk about basics, which are still missing:

a) Your System:

1. Model number, significant hardware additions, if applicable
2. OS version, patchlevel ("instfix -i|grep AIX_ML"), etc.
3. Name and release of the application you are trying to install
4. relevant configuration facts regarding this application
5. environment the system is supposed to operate in (networks, ...)

b) Project History:
1) What did you want to achieve
2) What have you done so far to achieve it and how/why did it fail


Here is an example of that, i have included the questionnaires numbers for reference:

I suggest reading How To Ask Questions The Smart Way as well as our local FAQ- both contain hints on how to better prepare questions for posting here.

I hope this helps.
