Make sure the RPC daemon is running.  On Unix, you can check this with:
 $ ps -elf | grep unirpcd

You should see 'unirpcd' running.  If you don't, find the 'startunirpcd' script (usually in /path/to/ud51/bin) and run it. 

On [[UniVerse]] systems running under [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu], the unirpcd is started by the uv.rc script in the /etc/init.d directory, but it will only start if the uvrpc service is defined in /etc/serivces.

Also make sure that you don't have a firewall blocking the RPC port.  It's 31438 on [[UniData]], and will be the same on [[UniVerse]] unless you've changed it.

On *nix systems there has to be an entry in the /etc/services file that looks like this:
 uvrpc           31438/tcp                       # [[UniVerse]] RPC Daemon
