Wingz/I-Star/YP
Posted in 1992
Hi, We have been experiencing some problems with the combination of Wingz, I-Star & YP. We have a set up with Wingz (with Datalink & I-NET PC) running on a PC with Windows 3.0, using TCP-PC to talk to I-Star and On-Line (4.1) on an HP9000/832 which is a YP (now NIS) client. Wingz was returning the error -930 (cannot connect to host). We contacted Informix who told us that "there might possibly be an incompatibilty with YP, but we aren't really sure". We modified the 832 to run as a standalone machine, and rebooted. Sure enough, the problem went away. I am really amazed that Informix can sell a product aimed at systems involving networks, when it isn't compatible with a standard network service. -- Regards, Andrew. +---------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Andrew Roberts | UUCP: ...uknet!valstr!ar | | Valstar Systems Limited | Internet: ar@valstr.uucp | | Burghmuir Drive, Inverurie | | | Aberdeenshire, Scotland | Voice: +44 467 22720 | | AB51 9GY | Fax: +44 467 24120 | +---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
