RE: change of server made network problems - Solaris 2.8 Bug

Oh, welcome to the club!! I had to spend at least 3 days on that... If you look for a document number 124759 on Informix web site - you'll find a detail reference. I think Solaris 2.8 introduced some changes to the Network Socket/tli code and defaults to IPv6 instead of IPv4, so your ontlitcp connection will produce an error. I believe it was fixed in 7.31, and for sure in 9.21, because we had to order that one from our sales rep. If you can not obtain a new copy of the server software - I would suggest to do one of the following two things: 1. You still should be able to use shared memory connection to the databases residing on this server, so configure 'onipcshm' in your sqlhosts; 2. If by some reason you can not do it - then install a previous version of SunOS. Sincerely, Elena. -----Original Message----- From: Martin A.
