The error code -23015 is listed as openFailed. This is indicative of
a connection that started to open but did not complete in the specified
timeout period. That means that this particular host is taking longer
than most to get a connection. I don't know MacIP 4.0, but if there
is a way to specify how long to wait for the host to connect, make it
bigger. If there is no way to do that (that would be a pain!), write
to the folks who wrote MacIP.

The info on the error codes is in the programmers guide. The
documentation is available from APDA for $60 last I looked, but
it should be included with the software. Check with whoever it
is on your campus who has the original copy of MacTCP.

Good luck
