FCIP - direct cable connection

Hello All,
 
I am trying to connect a Solaris 9 box (25k) with an AIX one
using
direct cable connection on fiber card (FCIP). I have configured the
fcip
on both the boxes. I can ping, telnet, ftp on the fc cards on both boxes
from the same side only, but unable to ping the other side - AIX (and
vice
versa from AIX).
 
The distance between both boxes is approx. 60 meters.
The fiber cable
looks ok to me and I can see the green light on the HBA
(qlogic).
 
Did anyone configure the fcip using direct cable connection
before. If
so, please let me know what steps I am missing here. The said
fibre
cable is going through a patch panel - not through a switch (as far as
I
know).
 
When I do a snoop on the fc, I get the below error:
 
# snoop
-d fcip2
Using device /dev/fcip (promiscuous mode)
fatal dlpi error:
Requested serv. not supplied by provider. Device fcip2
dlpromisconreq:
DL_ERROR_ACK: dl_errno 7 unix_errno 0
 
Thanks in advance,
Rasheed Tamton.
