Connection problem
Beniuga Cristian got error -951 (user not known on the database server) when a Windows XP SP1 client connected via ODBC to Informix 7.31TD2 on Windows 2000. It worked from Win2000 and NT4 clients, and driver versions 3.11, 3.30 and 3.32 made no difference. Andre Rufino and Gary Kang suggested checking host entries, online.log and hosts.equiv. Unresolved.

Hi all, I have this problem : Error -951 while trying to connect to the Informix 7.31TD2 server (on = win2000) from an windows XP (client APP) via ODBC. The ODBC test connection works ok, but the application throws this error = : user not known on the database server. When I use my application from win2000 (client app), everything woks = just perfect. Same with WINNT 4. On both winXP(informix client) and Win2000pro(informix server) I've = disabled most of the security policies. I've tried a lot of informix drivers 3.11,3.30,3.32. All the time with = the same error. Maybe you have some hints?? Ben
Hi, Ben Is those box new ? Have you setting the hosts files on the server to know those machines ? What`s the SO where the Informix engine is on line ?

Have you check online.log?=20 maybe you can add XP into %WIN%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts.equiv.

Hi all, Thanks for all your answers. I will complete my question with additional information. The server is a Win2000 profesional with Informix 7.31TD2 .=20 I am loggin in with a user recognized by the server. Everything seems to be in order with all the settings in setnet and = ol_config. Actually the server is running just fine. When I try to = connect from a Win2000 client, or NT4 client is ok. It is working, but = not from XP profesional SP1. I tried out with different informix clients (3.11, 3.30, 3.32 ....), but = no success.=20 Maybe you have additional tips?? :) P.S. We are not using a domain server. (This may be a problem?)
