(error -25572) Network driver cannot bind a name to the port.

Hi! I installed Informix client SDK (2.40) on a SUN box (Solaris 8). I'm unable to open a connection to my database server! I always get the error: (error -25572) Network driver cannot bind a name to the port. The system is ready: .netrc, sqlhosts, /etc/services, environment... Any idea about this problem? While sniffing there is _NO_ traffic between the client and the server. (The Solaris box runs a dual stack IPv4/IPv6.)

I seem to remember some problem running Informix and other IPv4 apps on Solaris 8 because of a bug in the dual TCP/IP stack handling. I believe there is a Solaris patch that is needed. Art S.

Hi, Do you know which patch is needed? I checked the SUNSolve database without success...

Xavier, This is part of a known Informix bug with Solaris 8. The defect number is 124759. ON SOLARIS 8, SERVER FAILS TO BUILD SYSMASTER BECAUSE BUILDSMI CONNECT TO DATABASE FAILS WITH ERROR 25572 WITH "EXEC FORMAT ERROR" USING TLITCP. With ipcshm, it works fine. Still waiting on a patch though.
