I have not done an NT } install, but Win95 needs a file called c:\\windows\\services (no } extension) of the same format as an /etc/services file in Unix. The } service names in that file must match that used in SetNet and ODBC } setup. } } I have gotten the same error before, and it was always that. } -- } Matthew C. Reprogle } Delco Electronics - IC Integrated Manufacturing phone: (765)451-9651 } Internet: mcreprog@mail.delcoelect.com FAX: (765)451-8230 } Mathew, I have a similar problem, error 932 is followed by Winsock error "Unknown connection problemn".My client is a Win95 machine with Inet 5.05 and my hosts and services files in c:\\windows have the server entries defined, so it's not that problem. Any ideas, since you have also gone thru a 932 ? I don't have a ODBC driver . I am very green to Windows. Do I need an ODBC driver to even try out the Inet -Istar connectivity ? Does the demo application require ESQL/C RT ? Or does it come bundled inInet 5.05 itself ? Thanks In advance, Vinitha
