Use the setnet.exe utility to set up your communications. Be sure you are using the 7.XX version of setnet....that's the 16-bit version. Be sure to save the results in the registry. The NT products don't use a SQLHOSTS file. They store all the info in the NT registry, if I remember correctly as : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Informix Setnet32 puts the data into the registry. You still need a SERVICES and a HOSTS file.
