first you want to be sure that your host can connect to the remote host onn the right port. You can use the telnet command to do that
telnet server port where server is the name for the server in your /etc/hosts file and port is the port number on the remote where sybase is listening. iirc the default for sybase is 2638. Also iirc DBD::Sybase expects freeTDS to be installed and configured. good luck On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 2:08 PM, Paul M via beginners <beginners@perl.org> wrote: > I have a hosts entry that points to a specific IP address.
