Error SQL0104N on very simple client setup. Help.

[Pradeep]

DB2ers,

In my setup, DB2 server is installed on a Windows box "test16"
and "SAMPLE" database has been loaded.

Now, on a clean Windows machine (test15), I installed DB2 client
(DB2Clienten_US_setup.exe).

From the instructions on the net, the first thing I must do on the

client machine (test15) is to catalog the tcpip node.

db2 => catalog tcpip node db2test16 remote test16 server 50000

If I do that, I am getting the following error:

SQL0104N An unexpected token "db2test16" was found
following "NODE". Expected tokens may include:
"<node-name>". SQLSTATE=42601

Can someone please tell me if there is another step that I missed?

The network connectivity is okay. I can ping between test16 and test15.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Your nodename (db2test16) should be lessthan or equal to 8chars
