A note from someone else started me down the right path. What actually happened was that when the IP address was changed, the admin was also prompted for the machine name. Up until that time, the machine had been called "Machine" (for example). At the prompt, though, they entered "machine". That network segment is not yet on DNS, so everything has to be in /etc/hosts, but /etc/hosts still referred to the name "Machine". Anytime I tried to use isql or dbaccess, Informix checked and found that it couldn't trust "machine", so I'd get a -956 error. The problem with ODBC was a similar issue. > Now of course, you are planning on upgrading to 10.20 right? Probably in the second quarter. Also upgrading Informix at that time. Thanks for the reply.
