Re[2]: Help, can't connect with ODBC

That may be required only if you are running version 5.0 or lower. Any version of Informix higher than that does not require the IP address of the PC. At least I am sure that Informix &.* does not require it. Try removing the default user in the setup, that may work. I know it sounds silly, but I had the same problem, and removing the default user seemed to do the trick. Also check for user permissions on the host, or try logging on as another user.
