I need a refresher for establishing connectivity from a PC using odbc. What is the correct entry for the sqlhosts file? Also, mods added to "/etc/services", "/etc/hosts" , and dbserveralias in onconfig? Is it pretty much the same for solaris as it is for HP? TIA, Darren

You need a working IDS server that can be connected to via the network. If you already have that, you should be able to configure the PC so that the ODBC DSN (data source name) connects to it. sqlhosts - RTFM idsservername oltlitcp machinename servicename etc/services - RTFM servicename 9876/tcp servicealias # comment More or less the same for Solaris and HP. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@us.ibm.com) STSM, Informix Database Engineering, IBM Data Management 4100 Bohannon Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025 Tel: +1 650-926-6921 Tie-Line: 630-6921 "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
