Re: Problem onnecting two online databases

I have tried all the combinations and found out how it works: On machine A (the server, will accept any tcp connection coming into services sqlexecx!!!): config file: DBSERVERNAME: A DBSERVERALIAS: TCPA NETTYPE: ipcshm..... NETTYPE: tlitcp...... sqlhosts file: A onipcshm A boogusservicename TCPA ontlitcp A sqlexecx /etc/services file: sqlexecx 1526/tcp (Make sure you can telnet to your client, machine B from machine A and vice versa!!!!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ On machine B (the client going to machine A): config file: DBSERVERNAME: B NETTYPE: ipcshm..... (note: no need to define a tcp since nothing is coming into machine B, just going out!) sqlhosts file: B onipcshm B boogusservicename TCPA ontlitcp A sqlexecx(Yes, the second line should match the second line in the sqlhosts file from machine A!!!!!!) /etc/services file: sqlexecx 1526/tcp Good luck... and remember, I will accept gratuities in any form!!!
