Can you ping asterix? Is asterix listed in /etc/hosts? SCO does not come with networking enabled by default you have to install the networking option. Art S. Kagel

I'm trying to make a connection from a SCO UNIX machine to a Informix database running on Windows NT, but I get the following Informix error message on the Unix machine when I try to connect to the database: -25574 Networkdriver cannot open the network device What is going wrong ? Should there be anything installed/enabled ? I'm using the following settings on the Unix machine: $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts: ol_asterix ontlitcp asterix turbo /etc/services: turbo 1526/tcp srv_agent 1530/tcp OS specs: SCO UNIX 3.2v5.0.4 Windows NT 4.0 Server Informix ODS 7.22.TC1 Please help.

That's not the problem the SCO machine already runs more than 5 years in a network with other unix and windows machines. I think the problem is that informix does a system call and fails. The question is what call it makes (to with service/device) ? If anyone can answer me this question, I can check if that service/device is present on the SCO machine. >Art S. Kagel
