Informix Server for your configuration must be radar_spr. I think, you have (but not show ;-) corresponding port for radar_shm in your services file also. And if you add that line on your client, you can use radar_ol too. Of course, if you not change ontlitcp to onipcshm yet. I have not any problem with service name in Servicename for SetNet32. Protocolname list in setnet have only three values (pipe;ipx;tcp-ip), while in setnet32 you must choose from (olsoctcp;sesoctcp;onsoctcp;olsocspx;onsocspx;sesocspx;seipcpip) And note, that your settings for v 7.2 will be saved in Registry.
