Start the SetNet utility and: - Go to Servers tab and set: Server name: servernm Host name : hostnm Service name: onlinetcp # You could try setting just 1027 here Protocol : onsoctcp - Save this definition - Make this server DEFAULT server - Go to hosts tab and set: Host name : hostnm User name : informix or whatever user you will use Password : No Password - Save this host definition - Go to first tab, as I remember it is Environment In this tab the following variables should be set: INFORMIXDIR _you_informix_installation_dir_ INFORMIXSERVER servernm - Save the configuration and exit. 3. At DOS command line try: ping hostnm Ping the host by the name you have set in SetNet utility. Don't add the domain name. Write it exactly as in SetNet. 4. To ensure you have deal with the right host try to run: telnet hostnm You have to get the right login prompt. Login to UNIX host and check with onstat you have your server in OnLine mode. As an additional check run (of course on UNIX host): netstat -na | grep 1027 You should have opened a socket on 1027 port in LISTEN state. tcp 0 0 your_address.1027 *.* LISTEN 5. In windows launch ILogin and set there the right values. Try to connect to an existing database on server. What IConnect version do you have ?
