| Starting TCP: cpd slink: register: activation state mismatch

This is your problem right here.  The activation state of TCP must
match that of your OS, or TCP will fail to start properly.  Either
your OS is multiuser and you serialized TCP to be limited
functionality, or your OS is two-user and TCP is unlimited.
