Help about IDS2000

Hello, I need help about IDS2000 Administration, I've installed IDS2000 on Windows NT, I would want to set NETTYPE for supporting named pipe comunication, the administration book doesn't explain it very much, I've tried it setting: DBSERVERNAME ol_bulls # Name of default Dynamic Server DBSERVERALIASES ol_bulls_pipe # List of alternate dbservernames NETTYPE soctcp,4,50,NET # Override sqlhosts nettype parameters NETTYPE ipcnmp,1,,CPU and dbserver gives me the following error: 12:00:36 listener-thread: err = -25573: oserr = 0: errstr = : Networkdriver cannot accept a connection on the port. why? How have I to do for name pipe comunication? thanks in advance. Alessandro

Are pipes supported on NT? On UNIX you would use ipcstr in NETTYPE and onipcstr in sqlhosts. Look in the release notes (%INFORMIXDIR%\\release\\*\\*) in the SERVER* file for supported protocols and the values for sqlhosts and NETTYPE. Art S.
