Look into SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM and search for the 
decw$server_transports symbol definition. It probably includes "TCPIP".

There may be multiple definitions of this symbol - check which one is 
used for your paricular VAX and remove the TCPIP transport from this 
definition.

Then restart your DECwindows server and you should be all set.

Hope this helps,
Hans.
