I am attempting to connect from a Sun Solaris machine to an Informix database server which is running on an HP-UX machine. When my esqlc program attempts to connect to the database server, I get the following error: Error 25507 while connecting to the database: The specified service name or protocol is unknown. The pertinent environment variables are: INFORMIXDIR=/usr/local/ifmxsdk INFORMIXSERVER=mbiodbc INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/usr/local/ifmxsdk/etc/sqlhosts The entry in the sqlhosts file is: mbiodbc onsoctcp mbigate onpccarsi The entry in the /etc/services file is: onpccarsi 1004/tcp # connect to ifmx The entry in the ONCONFIG file on the mbi is: NETTYPE soctcp,1,32,NET # Override sqlhosts nettype parameters I am at a loss to know why I am still getting this error. I have also tried putting the port number directly in the sqlhosts file, I get the same message. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks, Mark Aardsma

I think you'll need tlitcp on the Solaris end, I don't believe Informix tcp connectiosn runs over sockets. At the HP end I don't know.
