Tell your database administrator to examine the sqlhosts file entry. Check that the NETTYPE settings in the ONCONFIG file match the NETTYPE settings in the sqlhosts file. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, check that the correct service name appears in the /etc/services file. If you are using NFS, use ypmake to check the /etc/services file. Sometimes the daemon does not recognize service names that are added after a default boot. $ Your networking connections are not set up correctly, and you cannot connect to the Solaris databases from the AIX machine using DB-Access. Once you can do that, you should be able to run 'dbnames' without errors.
