Hello! I'm trying to reach UNIX box (maho) with IDS on it from NT box. My settings: NETTYPE onsoctcp DBSERVERNAME ol_server in sqlhosts: ol_server onsoctcp maho onexec in services: onexec 1526/tcp What should I set with setnet32 utility on my NT box? I set 'host' as UNIX machine and service onexec, is it right? Anyway, I get the -908 error, and don't know how to deal with it TIA! _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You have to go into the hosts and services files on the PC and add the hostname and address and the service and its port number. These are under the WinNT system32 directory (usually C:winnt) in: \\winnt\\system32\\drivers\\etc Alternatively you could put the IP address and port number into setnet32 but that is tedious and error prone.
