Connecting to AIX 8.3 database with a 9.1B client

[wall]

I have been trying to connect to an 8.3 database with a 9.1B client. The error I get is Unable to find server "server_name" with protocol TCP in file SERVICES or file not found in expected location. (5192). OIbroker is running on the server and I have created a SERVICE file in my WINNT directory. I am new to Progress and any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ok, you need to serve you database like this:

proserve dbname -S socketname -H hostname

eg

proserve mydb -S myport -H myhost

in WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services .. add a line (NOT THE LAST LINE OF THE FILE) like this

myport 15000/tcp

To connect, do this

prowin32 -db mydb -S myport -H myhost
