Re: remote access - Invalid service or protocol

Maybe, the protocols supported on eache machines differ. You can check it in files in your $INFORMIXDIR/release directory. Remember you should specify in sqlhosts file the protocol which is supported by the machine on which you edit the sqlhosts not the protocol supported by the machine you want to access.
