Need some help in connecting to Informix server on [2000]NT through another 2000 server.
I have one machine [m1]which is having Win-2000 and has informix server installed on it. The server is running fine.
I have another machine [m2] which is having win-2000 and through this machine I am trying to connect to informix server on m2 machine.
When I try to connect it errs out with the error -908. and sometimes -931.
On m2-machine I have services file in the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory and the services [turbo & sqlturbo] has been defined as below:
turbo 2345/tcp #For Informix
sqlturbo 3456/tcp #For Informix
These two lines are there on both the machines.
The hosts files on both the machines are similar and look as
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.4 host_p
192.168.0.6 client_s
192.168.0.2 another_m
I am wondering why it is not still connecting from m2 to m1.
I have a strong feeling that there is discrepancy in the sqlhosts files.
On the machine where Informix server is running, I could not find the sqlhosts file. I saw in the Registry.
But on the client machine [m2] I was able to locate the sqlhosts file [which has the entries that reflect to my linux box's informix server] and this is in
$INFORMIXDIR/etc directory. When I added the Informix server name of 2000 server then it started to give a different error -25556 which is corrupted sqlhosts file.
I tried connecting to the Informix Server on Linux box through m1 box and it worked. But connecting from 2000 to 2000 is tricking me!
Can anybody pls help me in resolving this.
Thanks in advance
