The solution as always was walking around since this error messg should've been interpreted as "Transport DLL not found" or staff like that. Proven for SunSelect PC-NFS, Wollongong PathWay TCP/IP transports yet for Win 3.1 it required to make two entries in %WINDIR%\\infromix.ini's [INET_CONNECTION] and [INET_PROTOCOL] sections coinside. Here you are the meaningful portion of tuned informix.ini file. [INET_CONNECTION] host=donkey user=informix protocol=tcp-ip <<<<<<<<<<<<<< !!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Service=donkey_infmx Passwd= [INET_PROTOCOL] tcp-ip=INETWSOK.DLL <<<<<<<<<<<<<< !!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<< ipx=INETIPX.DLL [ENVIRONMENT] .. You can achieve this as well via INFORMIX Logon Box -> [Options] -> ProtocolType => tcp-ip (not anything else!). Alternatively you can ensure that your Informix-NET <-> WinSock 1.1 interface is OK under WFW 3.11. See I-NET's README for instance. BTW ... the hint came to us from Munich, Informix Germany Tech Supp. Hope this might be of help, Gregory Barron, Jet InfoSystems
