The trouble i will try and get to this and let you know. we are running 7.11 on Solaris 2.4 and have been seeing the following problem. (our clients are all sunos 4.1.4, using 4.X tools). when we start isql on the client, and do a database - select, the session hangs until another session (isql on a client or dbaccess on the server) does the same, which actually establishes a connection to the server. once the other session has done a database - select, the first process frees up, and it is then possible to work. if you do another database - select, however, it hangs again until the same sequence is reapeated; another session makes a connection. informix has reproduced this and identified it as a bug and is working on it. they found a workaround in the meantime, and that is to remove all NETTYPE entries from the onconfig file. now things work fine. of course, this means that for the time being i lose the fine tuning that these paramaters give, but that is ok considering what i gain. we have seen the same problem connecting (and disconnecting) in an esql/c program, so you might want to try this. let me know what happens, and i will try to get to your program today. by the way, are you running the program on the server? on the solaris box? mickm
