Do you have any kind of firewall? I suppose the message is all you get? It
doesn't mention a system error number?
If you run a "netstat -an" the port is listening...?

Hi Fernando, thanks for replying.
I don't get any system error numbers.
Yes the port is flagged as LISTENING.
I have a McAfee firewall which is configure to allow 9088 through and
I have turned it off altogether as well, the Vista Firewall is off. Of
course that doesn't mean it isn't a problem with the firewall as I
can't be sure it's not interfering in some way as the Windows security
centre thinks the McAfee firewall is still running. The McAfee
firewall also block programs that make outgoing calls to ports but it
does prompt you and allows you to select block or allow. I've allowed
everything.
Someone else suggested I turn of User Access Control which I have done
for the informix user and also the regular user I run dbaccess/server
studio under. However it didn't make any difference.
I'll try uninstalling McAfee.
All the best,
R

Just to say that I've uninstalled the McAfee firewall and disable Windows firewall but no change, still getting error and still cannot connect.
