All help appreciated !!!! Make sure your Protocol name is set to match the entry in sqlhosts on your UNIX server. i.e. onsoctcp or onsocspx. Also verify that you can ping your UNIX host. Can you get another network connection to the database server via any other means? This would verify that your server is accepting connections properly. Bruce Farwell Spartan Stores, Inc.
