Hi All

I am using IDS 9.2 on a solaris box

I get this error when i use dbaccess

25572: Network driver cannot bind a name to the port.

anybody know why i am getting this error

the entries in my sqlhosts file seem ok

sqlhosts file
#####################################
test_3 ontlitcp test_3 on_test_3

services file
######################################
on_test_3 1545/tcp

hosts file
######################################
ip_address hostname test_3 loghost

is there any other utility other than dbaccess
where we cud run queries

Thanks
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,

Please, can you change servicename, without "_" ?.

Hello,

I encountered the same problem at OS startup because Linux renamed the links auf my Informix startup scripts. The link names where changed form e.g. S21informix to S01informix. Because of this the database server instance was started BEFORE the network services where available ! As I found out later, SuSE Linux uses a new mechanism to (re)set the order of startup scripts depending on some header information in the script files themselves.

So, the simple reason for this "error" may be that network services are not available at startup of the database.

Bye, Gudrun
