Informix Dynamix Server 7.3 Linux edition reports the following error: Network driver cannot bind a name to the port. There is nothing using the port number nor name I specified in /etc/services for Informix usage. netstat is showing me clearly that no other process is occupying that port as well. Any ideas? Thanks, Slawek

Post the relevant /etc/hosts, /etc/services, $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts, $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG, uname -n, and echo $INFORMIXSERVER output/ lines so we can all see what you have done. Someone will see what is inconsistent. Art S. Kagel

DHCP server has changed the IP and /etc/hosts file was out of synch. thanks, Slawek Art S.
