Network Connection -Linux IDS

We are trying to setup the network connection in Linux IDS.The shared memory connection is fine, but we cannot create a connection using dbaccess to the network connection, we get error -908 " Attempt to connect to database server "linuxidstcp"failed". We have in the onconfig file set dbservername "linuxids" and dbserveralias as "linuxidstcp". We try to set up Nettype of "ipcshm,1,50,CPU" and "soctcp,1,50,CPU" in the onconfig, but they are not accepted. In the sqlhosts file we have entries set as" linuxids onipcshm hostname sqlexec " and "linuxidstcp onsoctcp hostname sqlexectcp". The services are set at "sqlexec 1550/tcp", and "sqlexectcp 1551/tcp". Do we need static IP addresses, can we use DHCP? Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated :-)) Thanks in advance :-)))

David, In setting up our test Linux box, I noticed in the release notes that setting a NETTYPE config parameter to a vp-class of NET will cause Informix to crash on initialization. I tested that to watch what happens, and sure enough it didn't work. We then tried configuring both types of connections (ipcshm and soctcp) under the CPU vp-class. This also did refused to come up. What ultimately worked was to remove the NETTYPE config parameter for ipcshm. Note that we did NOT remove the shm connection in the sqlhosts file or the shm connection's name from DBSERVERNAME/DBSERVERALIAS. This whole episode makes me wonder about Informix's ability to deal with two CPU vp-class NETTYPE configuration entries. I know it's supposed to work, but.... Kind regards, John Bejarano.

That bug has been fixed weeks ago. Download the latest release. I have two NETTYPE parameters on 3 other platforms so it is not Informix per se. Just a misunderstanding about some data structure or other in the Linux network libraries. Art S.
