tcpip & ipx not starting on ASA 6.0.3

[Ted Fruchtl]

Hello all,

Using SQL Anywhere 5.5.04 I can start my server with either of the
following:
dbsrv50.exe -c4096 -p4096 -xtcpip -tl0 -nTED c:\test\test.db
dbsrv50.exe -c4096 -p4096 -xipx -tl0 -nTED c:\test\test.db

After upgrading to ASA 6.0.3 I cannot start my server with either of the
following:
dbsrv6.exe -c4096 -p4096 -xtcpip -tl0 -nTED c:\test\test.db
dbsrv6.exe -c4096 -p4096 -xipx -tl0 -nTED c:\test\test.db

Here are the messages (in debug mode) as it tries to start tcpip:
"Trying to start TCPIP link...
Loading ws2_32.dll
TCP using Winsock version 2.0
Could not bind to specified address
TCPIP communication link not started"

Here are the messages (in debug mode) as it tries to start ipx:
"Trying to start IPX link...
Loading wsock32.dll
Unable to open IPX socket
IPX communication link not started"

Each is followed by the following messagebox:
"Unable to initialize requested communication links"

My question is why would 5.5.03 start these two fine, but not 6.0.3?
Does 6.0.3 require a specific version of winsock?

TIA,
Ted

Are you running on Win95? If so, there is a newer version of the WinSock
layer that you can get from Microsoft through a download. That usually
fixes problems involving ws_32.dll. If you are not on Win95 then what
O/S are you on and what version/release.

Do you have more than one network card in the machine? If so, specify
which IP address it should bind to:

-x TCPIP{MYIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx}

Are you running Token Ring? If not, then your packet size is
inefficient. Lower it down to 1475.

Winsock was the culprit. I downloaded and installed winsock 2 from MS site.
Thanks, Jim.
