I have an nt4.0 (sp5) workstation that I am try to install a software on the needs to conect to a SQL anywhere data base. During the install it stops and gives me an error that it can't connect to the data base. I have fixed this problem in the pastby upgrading to Novell client32 (4.71e) but this is not working this time. I have uninstalled both tcpip and ipx/spx and reinstalling them but no luck. I can start the data base with tcpip from the run command line. I have serval nt workstations that are running this software no problems they are connecting to the data base using ipx. Any suggestions are welcome.

Has at any time been an option to update a secur32.dll file with a yes, no option. If so, you need to choose yes. If you have choosen no than simply replace is in the directory with the new file.

I chose yes durning the set up but stil having problems. Right now things are working but I had to go into the odbc.ini file and force it to use tcpip.
