RE: Problem: Online-5.0 to NewEra connection with PCNFSpro

From: Maria Waleska Vivas Mendoza <mwvivas@colmex.mx> Subject: Problem: Online-5.0 to NewEra connection with PCNFSpro Hi ! I have a problem connecting NewEra on WfW 3.11 using PCNFSpro to Online 5.0 engines running on SCO OpenServer 3.0 and 5.0. I have however discarded (or misunderstood) all the newgroup discussed problem/solution information due to the following: - My instalation DNS has both server and client registered. - sqlexec Service is correct and not on the last line on the services file. - I have tried plain NewEra instalation as well as two different patches for I-Net provided by Informix. - I can see the client's connection attempts to sqlexecd when running it with a log. *Here comes the best part ...* - The exact same configuration connects perfectly to an Online 5.0 engine running on a SPARCserver 10-Solaris 2.5 server (just by changing connection parameters via the SetNet utility). - I can also drop PCNFSpro's WinSock and have NewEra connect to SCO (on the same machine) by dialing in to my instalation trough Trumpet as a TCP stack. And I am using the same "services", "hosts", "protocols" files and DNS servers as for PCNFSpro. Any solutions, suggestions, comments appreciated to mwvivas@jupiter.uc.colmex.mx ************************************************* I have the same Problems using WFW 3.11 and Connecting to any SCO-Server, may it be Online 5.x, 7.x or SE. You have no chance to connect, if your Name-Daemon is running. For this problem i had a case at Informix-Munich-Support, but they couldnt help me, because they had no SCO-Server with DNS running. So if i have to work with NewEra and SCO, i have to stop the DNS and to not forget to start it again. Maybe that the next Version of I-Net solves the problem.... Informix and Networking ....
