Error connecting to IBM DB2 'Retry for Db2Connect Gateway'

I'm a relative database novice.  I can connect to the IBM DB2 database but when I try to connect to the particular view that I'm interested in this error is displayed.  I can see other tables and views.  What does the error indicate?

 

Thanks

I discovered my answer...I needed to include the port after the server name.
