At a guess, I'd say this was a (fixable) configuration error: You specified an unknown service name or protocol. Tell your database administrator to examine the sqlhosts file entry. Check that the NETTYPE settings in the ONCONFIG file match the NETTYPE settings in the sqlhosts file. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, check that the correct service name appears in the /etc/services file. If you are using NFS, use ypmake to check the /etc/services file. Sometimes the daemon does not recognize service names that are added after a default boot. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
