Re: Informix Net under OS/2 problem

John, I have gotten I-net for win 3.1 to work under an win/os2 session. 1) if you are using Warp Connect you need to get the update for the dos TCP/IP stuff. I believe in the retrieve update it is under something like "fix for Netscape". You need to download this and install it. IBM had a problem with the winsock.dll and that is why I-net could not talk to the DB. If you have installed this then your other problem might be a case problem. I am trying to remember this from memory, I believe if you add this into your services file: online1 777/TCP And then when you set up I-net if you use "ONLINE1" it will not work. Make sure that both are lower case and things should work.
