db2 communication error

[gaussdb2]

i am getting a following error while trying to connect from a remote machine.what service do i need to start/or what settings do i change so that the remote client can connect to the db2 databases.
i have configured the clients using the client configuration assistant.


SQL30081N A communication error has been detected. Communication protocol

being used: "TCP/IP". Communication API being used: "SOCKETS". Location

where the error was detected: "". Communication function detecting the error:

"connect". Protocol specific error code(s): "10060", "*", "*".

SQLSTATE=08001


thanks.

A quick lookup at the Message Reference manual for DB2 reveals :

ETIMEDOUT (10060): The establishment of a connection timed out before a connection was made.

My guess is that your DB2 instance was not up, or it was locked for backup, or something like that.

the db2 is running and i am able to access it from the local machine,but from remote machine,its not able to establish the connection.

Another possibility might be a permission problem on the port that is used to connect to the remote server. Are you by any chance using a port number less than 1024 ?

Also, can your client connect successfully to other DB2 servers ?

I met the same error on our project,perhaps it occured because of network communicate error,our websphere and db2 are installed on two servers.One for application server,the other for application db.But I am not so sure.
