By "open" do you mean in a firewall? DataStage clients use a specific port number to connect to DataStage servers (by default 31538). To connect your browser to the web console for Information Server you specify the port number (by default 9080) in the URL.

What error message appears when you fail to connect? What are you using to try to connect?

Caused by: javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: A communication failure occurred while attempting to obtain an initial context with the provider URL: "iiop://xyz:2809". Make sure that any bootstrap address information in the URL is correct and that the target name server is running. A bootstrap address with no port specification defaults to port 2809. Possible causes other than an incorrect bootstrap address or unavailable name server include the network environment and workstation network configuration.

What version of InfoSphere (8.0, 8.0.1 or 8.1). Also does the remote site have a firewall as well?
