unable to connect to tcpip network error

I get this error when I run with -e (adr=162.5.73.131) is added in the
dbmlsync function.
Connecting to MobiLink server at '162.5.73.131' using 'dbmlsock9.dll'
E. 02/21 15:39:15. Unable to connect to MobiLink server.
E. 02/21 15:39:15. Upload aborted at offset 0220017074

Does it mean that it was able to get to the server but the tcpip request was
denied or the request didn't get polled at the server at all?
I am trying to trouble shoot where the problem is. I understand it is not
able to get to the server, both my desktop & the server are in the same
gateway.

I get this error when -e option is not specified. I suppose it is assuming
that the mob server is running locally?

Connecting to MobiLink server at '' using 'dbmlsock9.dll'

It simply means that dbmlsync was unable to open a tcpip connection to
ML. There is no "ping" ahead of time to determine if the client machine
can "see" the server machine.

If you fire up a browser on that remote machine and point it at

http://162.5.73.131:2439/

does ML log a synchronization attempt (check the ML console log) ?

What are your ML startup parameters?
Are you running a firewall on that server?

It seems that it was an error in the code, but not sure yet.
I was setting the IP address using adr param.
Once I changed in the database setting synched it, worked.
Then removed from the database & passed the "adr" value as param again it
worked.

I do have firewalls in both my machine (cisco sec agent).
It seems that it works wierdly on & off with it running & not running.
I have set security policy both on IP address & dbmlsync & dbmlsrv
executables in the firewall.
I am still investigating on this will update how it worked out when I find
what is going on.
I am running with -x tcpip -v+ -ot options.
thanks
