Re: ODBC problems

If the SetNet32 doesn't fix your problem, check this. On your NT machine check the file c:\\winnt\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\services. See if at the bottom of that file there is an entry for your server. If there isn't, make the entry like this: ifx98 3100/tcp #servername Server: ifx98 Service: port 3100, using tcp/ip The '#' is for comments... I have found that the installation program doesn't make these entries and they are required for NT to connect properly. - Chris Art S.
