repost - STRCODE workstation security error?

I'm posting this again, because I didn't get a reply the first time.

I would ask the network admins here if I knew what to ask them - they would
just look at me funny if I said i needed the 400 to have access to my
pc....

Can any of you help?  I'd really like to start using code, but if I can't
get it to connect to my pc, it's a little tough...  ;)

thanks for any help,

Rick

------original message--------
I'm trying to get started again using code, but I'm having trouble getting
STRCODE to work.

Yesterday, I worked from home through a vpn and cable modem and it worked
fine, but this morning i get an error when I run STRCODE.

I've tried both of these commands, and both give me the same error

STRCODE SERVER(BAIRDR) RMTLOCNAME('mypc.ip.address') CMNTYPE(*TCPIP) PORT
(*DFT)
 and
STRCODE SERVER(BAIRDR) RMTLOCNAME(*RESOLVE) CMNTYPE(*TCPIP) PORT(*DFT)

this is the error I'm getting:

Message ID . . . . . . :   EVF4000
Date sent  . . . . . . :   06/04/03

Message . . . . :   A TCP/IP communications error occurred.

Cause . . . . . :   A security error occurred on the PC.
- The name of the error is ERR_SYSTEM.
- The name of the function is AdeStartServer.

As I said, everything was fine last night from home.  I'm on a Novell
network.

Do I need to set up some kind of administrator authority for my pc?  any
ideas?

thanks

Rick
