If you issue a connect from somewhere remote to the DSM repository, do you see an error message in the db2 error log. That can help narrow down if you are connecting and running into a problem or if you aren't even getting near the database. Can you ping the DSM database server from your remote client either by hostname (i.e. devbox.com) or IP (ie 192.x.x.x)?
The error you are reporting is usually caused by the DNS hostname not being mapped to an IP address on the connecting client (i.e. the client doesn't know devbox.com maps to 192.x.x.x) or the port is wrong/closed.
What happens if you try to ping the sever from your client and is there a problem reported in the error log?
