Informix error -25573 Network Driver cannot accept a connection onthe port

[Database Administrator]

I'm having problems connecting to IDS 11.5 on my Vista Business SP1
machine. I downloaded the developers evaluation from the IIUG and
installed it (selecting to run it under user informix rather than a
system account). I think I took all the defaults (including no to role
separation). The default instance (called "vaio") runs (though I've
got a further question about that for later) OK and I can run dbaccess
and also connect to it using ODBC on the local machine and the ilogin
demo works as well from the local machine. The entry in the services
file is infx_vaio 9088/tcp

However I can't connect to it from another machine on the network and
I'm getting the following message in vaio.log

Informix error -25573 Network driver cannot accept a connection on the
port

I've searched for more info but can't find anything so I throw myself
on your mercy. Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

Do you have any kind of firewall? I suppose the message is all you get? It
doesn't mention a system error number?
If you run a "netstat -an" the port is listening...?
