When I go into llogin I get my classic "Database: Sqlcode = -932" error followed by a Winsock error "getservbyname(WSANO_DATA)" Now I know NE 2.2 isnt necessarily supported on Win95, so if Im screwed, so be it ... but if I just need to tweek something or use a different winsock, well then, that would make me a happy camper! You should be a happy camper. I've been running 2.20 WC1 on Win95 for months with much greater reliability than in 3.11. Check your setnet settings as well as your host files. Did you install win95 on top of 3.11 or in a directory of it's own? If so, your services file may not contain the information that it needs to connect to the server. Just copy the one from the 3.11 directory into the 95 directory. A couple of other files living in the windows directory are appbld.ini and informix.ini. Good luck, I hope this helps. Bret.
