Re: Cannot locate olsoctcp service/tcp service in /etc/services.

The services file is usually in <NT Install dir>\\system32\\driver\\etc. Most of the other configuration stuff for OnLine on NT will be in the registry. One more thing, what ODBC driver are you using? You must have informix's connectivity tools also to get to the database (iConnect, CLI, etc.). Hope that helps. Arun Art S.
