Really? Try again. >I'd like you to tell me in what platform are you using I-NET (WFW 3.11 OR >WIN 95) w95 and 3.11 > and what kind of FILE SERVER are you using. FILE server. FILE (like "file"?) server? What does this to do with anything? Or you meant DATABASE after all. >This is because I'm trying to use 4GL FOR WINDOWS & I-NET >5.1 to CONNECT to an INFORMIX ON LINE FOR NETWARE 4.1 database server 1. try any other configuration of OS/I-Net/Informix client to verify that you can connect trough network to OnLine after all. If this is not working, try logging into OnLine locally, on server. If this is not working, and you are not an Informix *and* Novell guy, call somebody (by all means, do not try calling Informix support. Use a big hammer first) to fix server side first. 2. try I-Net 4.1. This is working on 3.11 and 95, with TCP/IP. On 95 you will need to start remsql/setnet from autoexec/dos *before* you start 95. With IPX/SPX, it will work on 3.x and TSR network kernel, but if you try 95 (or DLL/VxD network kernel with 3.x),you will probably need real mode ipx, because remsql.exe TSR will look for network TSR, and not DLL or VxD. (You can overcome this with TCP/IP _IF_ you use FTP software "OnNet" for winsock, which redirect TSR calls to VxD. Maybe, you can configure Novell client (not Microsoft IPX/SPX compatible client) to this with IPX, I did not try this..) Now you will know that: a- Your NetWare and OnLine is configured properly and working. b- Your client Os, network, and I-Net 4.1, including some Informix client is configured properly, and working. Now, you can try installing I-Net 5.01. There is high probability that after that you will be able to log onto OnLine with Ilogin demo. If you set INFORMIX.INI with SETNET for windows properly. I'm not sure if hosts/sqlhosts/services files has anything to do with IPX/SPX. If this is done, you can start posting to C.D.I. about missing FGLSQL.DLL/FLGSQLW.DLL/FGLSQLWW.DLL, like I did, because You will now be able to use almost any Informix client SW for windows, except 4GL for windows, because you will still have old FGLSQL.DLL/PEMSQL.DLL from your 4GL 4.x install, that will keep looking for REMSQL.EXE TSR, which is replaced with LDLLSQLW/ISQLI501/WINETMAN DLL chain. Also, you can try reading all my posts to C.D.I. in last month. By all means, now *do* try calling Informix support. Use a big hammer after. >Please send me some info to cmc@codetel.net.do .do? DOA! BTW, what version of 4GL and FGLSQL.DLL do you have?
