Subject:      SAS/Connect signon problems
Content-Type: text/plain

Greetings all,

I have newly installed SAS 8.2 on a Win2K server, but I don't seem to be
able to connect to the SAS/Connect spawner.  Here's an example log:

34   OPTIONS COMAMID= tcp REMOTE = labhonts165;
35   FILENAME RLINK "c:\tcpwin.scr";
36   signon;
NOTE: Remote signon to LABHONTS165 commencing (SAS Release
8.02.02M0P012301).
ERROR: Invalid or unspecified remote session id. Set OPTIONS
REMOTE=session_id.
ERROR: Remote signon to LABHONTS165 cancelled.

This same set of statements will sign on correctly with REMOTE = honts165
(honts165 is an existing NT 4.0 server that has had SAS/Connect installed
for some time).

I've verified that the server is named labhonts165 in its network
properties, that spawner.exe is running as a service, and that it is a
started service.  I can also successfully ping labhonts165 and see its
shares by typing \\labhonts65 at the Run prompt on the Start menu.

Anyway, I think this is a different problem than I would get if labhonts165
wasn't on the network - I get a different error message if I use a remote
session ID that I know doesn't exist:

37   OPTIONS COMAMID= tcp REMOTE = bogus;
38   FILENAME RLINK "c:\tcpwin.scr";
39   signon;
NOTE: Remote signon to BOGUS commencing (SAS Release 8.02.02M0P012301).
ERROR: A communication subsystem partner link setup request failure has
occurred.
ERROR: Cannot locate TCP host 'BOGUS'.
ERROR: Remote signon to BOGUS cancelled.

Can anyone suggest something else to try?

Thanks,

Sterling Price
