Hi all.

I am connecting to a Informix db via odbc.
From one windows client it seems to connect ok but from another machine with same configuration i get the following error message when i try the obdc connection, informix error 25572.
I have check my sqlhosts file and my services file and it uses
turbo 1526/tcp
No other application use this port on the client so to me it seems that it is no conflict
Any idea, someone?

Regards
Stefan

Thank you for your answer but no, i am not running Solaris 8.
The database is on a NT4 platform and have version 7.31.TC4.
I am trying to connect from another NT4 platform with Informix SDK 9.40.TC2.
If i boot the database server the odbc connection works fine for one or two days, then i get the error message.
From another client with W2K and same I-SDK installed i never have this problem.
