Hi, I think you have some setup problem in the hosts or in sqlhosts file. You are getting: #define EADDRNOTAVAIL 99 /* Cannot assign requested address */ You are attempting to bind(2) to a local address that isn't local. For example if the IP addresses of a machine are 127.0.0.1 and 1.2.3.4, and you're trying to bind to 1.2.3.5 you are going to get this error. Check to make sure the address you are trying to bind to exists on the machine you are trying to bind it from. bye Sandor IBM Certified Professional IBM Informix Development Munich Data Management Solutions Oskar Messter-Str. 20 D-85737 Ismaning Germany Tel +49 89 9603 3254 Fax: +49 89 9603 3200 Cell: +49 16090750915 "CHENDER LEE" <cdlee@ms16.url.c To: ids@iiug.org om.tw> cc: Sent by: Subject: Network driver cannot bind a name to the port!

Hi bro, Probably you've some kind of mess in onconfig and specially sqlhosts file Check for correct DBSERVERNAME, DBSERVERALIASES, hostname and port. See also services file for correct service name/number Greetz
