Informix Net and DNS

Informix Net appears to require DNS even though Informix says that they do not use DNS. I recently was attempting to setup Informix Net on some PC's and had numerous problems. I talked to Informix several times and they always said to make sure that the hosts files were up to date. I did that to no avail. Through my research I discovered that the working machines appeared to be setup in DNS with reversal entries while the non-working machines were not setup. The non-working machines were setup in DNS, however reversals had not been setup. When I setup the reversal entries the PC's connected without a problem. I had been told by three people at Informix that DNS is not an issue in setting up Informix Net. This is for informational purposes only. -- ============================================================================ David Schnardthorst, Systems/Network Eng. * Phone: (314)838-6839 Stryder Communications, Inc. * Fax: (314)838-8527 869 St. Francois * E-Mail: ds3721@strydr.com Florissant, MO 63031 * URL: http://www.strydr.com ============================================================================
