CHAPTER 4 Installing Sybase PC-Client Products
Installation Guide 57
8 In the Network Address box, you can enter either the server name or the
IP address, along with the server port number. For example:
machine_name, 4100
where machine_name is the name of the computer, and 4100 is the port
number the server is using to “listen” for clients.
Note Windows now accepts TCP-style connection information:
[SERVER]
MASTER=NLWNSCK,huey,2222
QUERY=NLWNSCK,huey,2222
or
[SERVER]
MASTER=TCP,heuy,2222
QUERY=TCP,heuy,2222
The preferred format is to use TCP and a space between the host_name and
port_number, because it is supported across all platforms. You can edit the
interfaces file with any standard ASCII text editor.
9 To find the IP address for a machine, use
ypmatch on a UNIX box, ipconfig
on Windows. See your system administration guide for the commands on
your system.
Note To connect to a UNIX server, the entries you add to interfaces must
match the entries in the interfaces file on the UNIX system.
For instructions on using
dsedit to modify existing interfaces file entries or
create new interfaces file entries for existing servers, see the Utility Guide.
Note You can use Windows NT Directory Replication to replicate interfaces
in multiple locations. See the Microsoft documentation for information. You
can also use directory services, which are stored in the Registry.
For additional information on using
dsedit on the client computer, see the Open
Client and Server Configuration Guide for Desktop Platforms and the Open
Client and Server Supplement.
For specific information about entries for connections to Monitor Server and
Historical Server, see:
