Maybe it's a port number issue ? What port does the server use ?
if it's > 32768 you may want to force the server to use a lower port
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.anonportmin=30000
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.anonportmax=32000

I don't know if this is the pmax problem, but this does the trick on sgimips
(it's a signed vs unsigned issue)
