Make sure about your sqlhosts (that the hostname is correct - column 3). Incorrect hostname can also give you this message - common mistake when you copy or rename an sqlhosts file from another machine.

and that you are using the correct service / port  (/etc/services)

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
