informix not listening on ip and port specified

Hello: I have an informix server that was runnig until power went down and it crashed. When I get put it online my clients can't connect because informix wasn't listening on ipv4, It was listen on specified port but in a ipv6 address. When I discover this, I check host file, sqlhost file and services file and everything seems to be right. My server is a windows 2003 server and I installed informix 11.70 growth edition. I get listen this server on ipv4 and port specified creating a new instance. I don't know how can I solve this. Thank you. P.D.: I don't know if I should provide an onstat output or netstat output --00235452f920936d2204c7ab260f

Change the configuration in setnet32 so that the engine is listening on the hardwired ipv4 address rather than the hostname. Art Art S.

Hello: Yes, I tried it and it's works, but is there any explication why doesn't work with host and why listen on ipv6 and not on ipv4?

Possibly if not probably it has to do with how your server reverse maps the name to ip address. But you can ask informix not to work with IPV6 even when the OS is configured/prepared to work with it: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm .admin.doc%2Fids_admin_0198.htm Regards On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 4:02 PM, Juan Francisco González Navarro < jfrancisco.navarro@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello: > > Yes, I tried it and it's works, but is there any explication why doesn't > work with host and why listen on ipv6 and not on ipv4? > > Regards > > 2012/8/20 Art Kagel <art.kagel@gmail.com> > > > Change the configuration in setnet32 so that the engine is listening on > the > > hardwired ipv4 address rather than the hostname. > > > > Art > > > > Art S.
