I-Net to multiple Online instances on one server

Dear Informix gurus, here I am again with a new problem. I just created a second Online instance on our server (using another TBCONFIG as described in the manual). Everything went fine. I also started a sqlexecd server process (I-Star) for that instance, using a servicename that I had previously defined in /etc/services with its own port number. This is Online/Star version 5.01 on a SNI RM400 running SINIX 5.41. On a client running I-Net version 5.01, I have the following $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts: OPSERVER olsoctcp GANS1X sqlexec DBPERS olsoctcp GANS1X sqlpers With that setting, I have no problem accessing both servers. All I have to do is set the appropriate $DBPATH, and all is well. Another client is a SNI MX300-30 running SINIX 5.24 and Informix-Net 4.1. On that machine, $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts looks like this: OPSERVER tcp GANS1X sqlexec DBPERS tcp GANS1X sqlpers With $DBPATH set to //GANS1X, I have no problem accessing the Online system OPSERVER. When I set $DBPATH to //DBPERS to access the other system, I get the following error message: 930: Cannot connect to remote host DBPERSAddress already in use The same happens when I set $DBPATH to //OPSERVER: 930: Cannot connect to remote host OPSERVERAddress already in use Of course, there are the appropriate entries in /etc/services. I think I followed every step in the manuals, but no go. Any ideas? Is this a general incompatibility between I-Net 4.1 and I-Star 5.01?
