This is what I have tried.  I added the Sybase server name to my hosts file
and successfully pinged it by name.  According to the JConnect docs, any
device name on the network is usable in the hostname field in the url.  But
it didn't work that way.

                Does using standard tcp/ip DNS names work with the Sybase
JDBC drivers you
                are using?

                Maybe you can find an acceptable Sybase JDBC driver which
sits on top of
                ct-lib if you prefer to use the names in sql.ini.

                I guess one method of last resort would be to write a perl
script which uses
                the name of the datasource as a key and looks up the ip
address using
                sql.ini and then changes the ND file which defines the
datasource which is
                presumably still text in version 5.

                        Thanks for the reply,

                        I would like to enter a server name instead of an IP
address.  We
                move
                        servers around sometimes and I would hate to have to
go through all
                of my
                        projects and enter new IP addresses.

                        Roger

                                        Hi Roger,

                                        What is the definition of: "handle
the ip addresses
                and
                        ports"?

                                        To do what?

                                        Thx...
                                        KL
