note 4102 deleted from sybase_connect by joey

The problem with sybase_connect function is that servername is not FQDN or an IP address of a server you want to connect to but an alias in an interfaces file. Syntax for this file is very simple, although I found nothing about it in Sybase documentation :-( All I've found was screenshots of tools modyfying this file... Anyway, you should set it up like this: <PRE> myserver query tcp ether srv.addr.com 2638 </PRE> The <PRE>myserver</PRE> is the name of alias you'll use un sybase_connect(). Instead of <PRE>srv.addr.com</PRE> you should enter FQDN or IP address of database server. <PRE>2638</PRE> is port number where your server is listening to (2638 is default). Hope this will help! Good luck!
