OS/2 warp connect 3.0 (Revision 8.264) via TCP/IP or NetBios.

I think that the problem resides in the layer between the operating system
and the database management system. But for now I am stopped cold without a
clue on where to go.

I'm positive that the TCP/IP configurations are correct on both client and
databaseserver. I have inserted port configurations in services files  as
well as host names in the hosts files on both server and client. The OS/2
workstation (with the DB2 database) has a fixed IP adress which is
conneceted to the NNAME in the hosts file on both databaseserver and client.
The database is cataloged as remote.

I have tried the connection with NetBios as well. But the problem seems to
be the same. The client or client enabeler can not resolve the name and IP
adress to get a connection to the database whatever it is done from the
databaseserver (OS/2 workstation) or the client (NT 4.0. workstation)

I'm open to all suggestions

You are welcome to email me on fam.hannibal@get2net.dk

Sincerely

Kim

Well.. you said you were open...

I tried DB2 and never got passed some really stupid setup problems. This was
on Wseb...

My solution? I dropped it like a rock and went with mSQL and then eventually
moved it all to mySQL. Setup is a breeze, security good and... run's great.
