Check the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG for two things:

First, check to see that the TCPIP transport is actually starting.  You
should see a message like:

DECW$TRANSPORT_TCPIP image base address: 00189000
%DECW-I-ATTACHED, transport TCPIP attached to its network

If you don't see that, you aren't starting the TCPIP transport.  In that
case, check out the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE.

THe second thing to look for in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG is
for the error message when the connection is rejected.  It will look
something like:

30-JUN-1992 13:40:07.5 Invalid access from transport: TCPIP
                                                node: aerobi
                                                user: ?
where aerobi is the name of my DECStation.  You will notice that the
user is ?.  The TCPIP transport does not pass the username, so that
entry in the security window must be * or ?.  I usually use *.

I never tell anyone to RTFM about DECWindows, since what little FM
there are have very little information.

Try the above, and let me know if you still have problems.
