Hello experts We have the following platform: Informix Connect under Windows 95 Informix Star 5.03 under Unix 3.2.4.2 We have every computer in the net listed in the file /etc/hosts in unix, i.e. 100.101.3.133 cruiz # The IP address for cruiz station We have fixed address for every station and the connectivity works well. Today we migrate the addressing scheme to DHCP, a Windows NT Server gives the address for each station in the connection instant. The address vary every time I connect again. Obviously the /etc/hosts file doesn't have the correct addresses anymore and the connectivity fails immediately. How can I fix this problem. Thanks in advance for your advices. ------------------------- Carlos Antonio Ruiz G'mez dmys2@colomsat.net.co Santaf' de Bogot' D. C. Colombia, Suram'rica
