based nodes

Can ping EIU, but cannot ping the computing module (CM)		4

1	There are no EIUs in service.
2	Table IPNETWRK is not datafilled.
3	Table IPROUTER is not datafilled or does not contain the in-service EIU as
	one of its entries.
4	Table IPHOST for the node in question is not datafilled with non-zero values.
5	Table IPTHRON contains zero values.
6	Someone else is logged on to the server with the same userID.
7	The system permits only one FTP session at a time for the admin user.
8	There are no TCP resources.
