Of course. You don't configure *both* RemoteServiceName and RemoteServicePort...it's one or the other. And if you have RemoteServiceName defined, you need to provide that, not the port no. that it is linked to via Services; otherwise the engine will use gds_db (if it is in Services) or the default port no. 3050. RemoteServiceName takes precedence over RemoteServicePort.
