INET 5.0 for Win - Over SLIP
Posted in 1995
SUBJECT - INET over SLIP/PPP ----------------------------------------------- hello all we are running inet 5.0 for windows connecting to a HP server running 7.11 online we are also using chameleon nfs 4.5 for our net software. inet works fine when using a token ring card. i can run informix ilogin and get into the database, i can run my gui front end application and this works fine as well. for the gui app i have to use an odbc driver - intersolve but that is just a side note. when i establish a slip connection however - and try to run informix ilogin - to test if inet by itself can get to the database i get a -932 error from inet. this is a generic winsock.dll error according to finderr. informix tech support - we do not support slip / ppp - however it should work. chameleon tech support - we are winsock 1.1 compliant. my questions are - is inet over slip or ppp supposed to work - at least in theory? has anyone done this before - using slip with another winsock vendor (FTP ...)? does this work with ppp? - hp does not support ppp. thanks in advance please send reply to Sam.X.Alwan@fnb.sprint.com or salwan@aol.com or post ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once upon a time there was a nice little database company named Infomrix and a big, old and ugly database company named Oracle. Although Informix was vastly supperior, Oracle was known everywhere over the land. Oracle was old, it got sick and died. And they lived happily ever after .........
