RESLVCNF.NET.SYS If this file exists, then the 3000 is expecting to use DNR on a node that is defined in this file. The order of precedence is: DNR server first then local HOSTS file. If the node defined in RESLVCNF does not exist, is not responding, or is not configured as a DNR (Domain Name Resolver), you will receive the -31995 error. Good Luck! Peggy Lacy Database Expert Center
