Tell your database administrator to examine the sqlhosts file entry. Check that the NETTYPE settings in the ONCONFIG file match the NETTYPE settings in the sqlhosts file. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, check that the correct service name appears in the /etc/services file. If you are using NFS, use ypmake to check the /etc/services file. Sometimes the daemon does not recognize service names that are added after a default boot.) Do I only have to modify the **$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts**, or do there have to be modified/created any other files? Helping hands or clues would by appriciated very much! Thanx, Martin --------------A569065147A4C80B1DABC744 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Martin HEIN Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Martin HEIN n: HEIN;Martin org: max.mobil. adr: Kelsenstrasse 5-7;;;Vienna;Vienna;A-1030;Austria/Europe email;internet: martin.hein@maxmobil.at title: Internet/Intranet Analyst/Admin tel;work: +43-1-79585-337 tel;fax: +43-1-79585-529 tel;home: +43-676-3456-337 x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: TRUE version: 2.1 end: vcard --------------A569065147A4C80B1DABC744--
