I alluded to this in an earlier post, but here's what we did to get around this very error: Make sure that you have the Informix service added to the SERVICES file on both the server side (/etc/services if it's Unix), and the client side (probably X:\\WINDOWS\\SERVICES in your case, where X: is the drive that contains your Windows home directory; check X:\\WIN95\\SERVICES if you're running Windows '95). I have the following identical line in both SERVICES files - numbers and service names are those suggested by the Informix-STAR installation guide: sqlexec 1525/tcp Once I added that line to the client's SERVICES file, the error went away.
