You are trying to connect to a database server with the indicated service name via the IPX/SPX network protocol on a system with portable IBM Informix OnLine for NetWare. The client application, IBM Informix NET or Informix STAR, is not able to determine the IPX address that is associated with the specified service name. Possibly the service name is misspelled in your sqlhosts file; the sqlexecd daemon or the database server is not running; or the portable IBM Informix OnLine for NetWare software is not operating properly. Verify the service name in your sqlhosts file. Ask your DBA or system administrator to verify that the sqlexecd daemon, the database server, and the portable IBM Informix OnLine for NetWare software are operational.
