I know its the basic stuff but what you are trying should certainly work. 1. do netstat -a | grep bsoc 2. do netstat -a | grep bctest_svc If you find a socket for each service in listen mode then your instances are really listening to those ports. If they are not listening then there should be an error in your online.log or you did not restart your instance after changing the DBSERVERALIAS parameter. On initialisation the online should start a listener on each port for each server listed in DBSERVERALIAS. Then check what you are setting INFORMIXSERVER= to and what you are setting your ONCONFIG= to. Make sure before starting dbaccess that these are correct. Also you can try using the connect option in dbaccess to change servers. Does that work? If this does not help sort it out then check the unix system log for errors. You may be running out of sockets or mbufs for the network. The only other thing is we had a problem with informix dropping ports in pre 7.14 versions, which meant we had to restart the instance. Maybe this will turn out to be the same problem for you (this was on NCR though).
