I've come across a problem like this under OS 10.1.5. Program
Linking to "eppc://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" with an IP address doesn't
work if the IP address isn't in a name server or NetInfo
database.
You can fix this by creating a name for the remote machine
(using Netinfo on the local machine) and using that name
in place of the IP address.
More symptoms I saw for this problem:
1. In the Event Log, the command to the remote application
(I used "get some item") tries and tries and tries, and
finally fails with an error -916 (the port was closed).
I checked the target machine; it had program linking enabled
and was listening on port 3031. I could ping it and could
telnet to it at port 3031.
2. When I looked at the network traffic on the client machine,
I saw a flurry of Domain Name Server activity when the script
was run. It was trying to resolve 192.168.2.8 (the target IP
I was using), apparently both forward and reverse. In this
machine's configuration, there wasn't a domain name entry for
that address.
