Problem with Clients NT4

Hi Everybody! We are running the Informix 7.24 on a Linux 2.2 - System. The Clients are NT4 SP3 over TCP/IP with the DatabaseExplorer 2.10 and the tools from Informix. So far so good. The Informix-Server works fine, but it's not possible to connect the Informix from the NTs with the DatabaseExplorer or ilogin. We get always the Error Message 931 like this: Cannot locate servicename service/tcp service in /etc/services. The service servicename is not listed in the network configuration file /etc/services (UNIX) or (DOS). Check the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts file, and check that the service name for the desired server is correct. If so, contact your network administrator to find out why the service is not known. If you are using INFORMIX-OnLine for NetWare, check the file on the client for the required entries. The entries on the serverside are: ../informix/etc/sqlhosts demo_se seipcpip boss sqlexecd /etc/services sqlexecd 1536/tcp Why is the service "sqlexecd" not known ... ???? Thanks for the help Bye Mike
