Re: Informix thru the firewall

With OnLine DS 7.2 you can tell the server what port to use for receiving requests. Know what needs to be done is to configure an interface, on web server to use a particular port. Then you can tell you server to send it to that destination port. To do this take a look at NETTYPE in onconfig. What are you using, on web server side, to get data? this is were you need to configure nettype snd serveralias. hope this will help Todd Breiholz wrote: > OK. Here's the deal.
