Exactly which adapter are you trying to start?

The Adapter Monitor service runs on port 6853. Do a netstat -a and check if the port 6853 is open (should either see a Listening or Established status).

Also when you installed the EI Adapters, what was the root directory?.. was it inside c:\webmethods5 or c:\wment41?.

You may want to check and let us know with an update.
