Checking the Services File on the Server

If you are using ARPA services, c heck for a user en try in the SERVICES.NET.SYS ￿le on the client. This ￿le is used by ARPA for dynamic port assignmen t. The ￿le entry for the ALLBASE/NET service has the o￿cial service name D AServer, the port number 987, and the protocol name tcp. The ￿le should look like this:

:PRINT SERVICES.NET.SYS

#This file contains the information about the services provided.

#The form for each entry is:

#

<official service name>

<port number/protocol name>

<aliases>

#

 

 

 

#See the services(4) manual page for more information.

#Note: The entries cannot be preceded by a blank space.

ftp 21/tcp

DAServer

987/tcp

#SQL distributed access

If the last line abo ve is not there, update the SERVICES.NET.SYS ￿le to include this line.
