Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Net8 Easy Config Error Message: No hostname or object found
Hi,
Your connect string is incorrect. It should be sid.hostname, in your case
jim.linux.jdtechnologies.com
Currently, because of the underscore, the tcp/ip hostname is truncated. As the
listener is using DNS to resolve the hostname, it won't find it.
Good luck,
