Hi, I installed the IDS 9.4 found in IIUG, configured it (just for a brief test), started it, created a new database, and everything was fine. I can connect via shared memory or soctcp with dbaccess with no problem, BUT when I try to connect via setnet with dbping, I only get error -908 with sqlstate 08004. I've the latest Informix Client SDK (setnet & co) available, freshly downloaded today. The firewall is disabled in RedHat and I can ping, ftp, use a shared folder with samba or ssh with PuTTY with no problems. I must say also, that I'm new to Linux, and I'm not sure if the changes to the kernel parameters where correct (the ones that I found, not the ones that I've never seen like SEMMNI). Please, can somebody help me !!! Thanks in advance !!! In setnet I have User Name: informix Password: *mine* Informix Server: idslinuxnet Host Name: 146.146.0.1 Service: 5555 Protocol: onsoctcp Database: prueba [informix@RedHat etc]$ uname -a Linux RedHat.XCellent.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I always made an entry into hosts and services on Windoze to match *nix side. Maybe that's it.
