Can not connect to database

We have 2 boxes. Linux box running Informix 7.30 HP box running Informix 7.23 From the Linux box I am able to connect to the HP box. However from the HP box I am not able to connect to the Linux box. The error I get is 908 and the ISAM error is 22 (invalid argument). What can be the cause? I am able to ping both the machines from each other. Both servers are running on seperate services. HP box is running on turbo (1526/tcp) and linux on turbo2 (1527/tcp). Appropriate entry is made in /etc/services and /etc/sqlhosts of the both the boxes with regards to turbo and turbo2. TIA.

Hi, first, I don't the way you've tried to establish the connection. Distributed query or dbaccess database or dbaccess using the connect option from the menu. I guess it's a missing entry in the .rhosts file on the linux-box or you have entered a wrong portnumber in the sqlhosts file on the hp-box. ( There's no need to use different port-numbers on different boxes. It's just neccessary to use different port-numbers on two IDS instances on the SAME box ).
