[Pypgsql-users] Can't connect using Win95 client

[Chris W. <cw...@cf...>]

Greetings,

I am having trouble connecting to a FreeBSD PostGreSQL server
using a Windows 95 client.

The code runs _fine_ on several Win98 clients on the same network.
The command that breaks is as follows: 

_______

 self.db = PgSQL.connect( user = self.uid,  host = self.hostname,
database = self.dbname, password = self.pwd )
________

The error message I get is as follows:
______

  File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\pyPgSQL\PgSQL.py", line 2118, in
connect
    return Connection(connInfo, client_encoding, unicode_results)
  File "C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\pyPgSQL\PgSQL.py", line 2215, in
__init__
    raise DatabaseError, m
libpq.DatabaseError: unknown host name: 192.168.1.160

________

Here are the relevant software versions:

________

Client:
Windows 95
ActivePython 2.2.2 build 224
egenix-mx-base-2.0.4.win32-py2.2
pyPgSQL-2.3.win32-py2.2
wxPythonWIN32-2.4.0.7-Py22

Server:
IP: 192.168.1.160
FreeBSD 4.7
postgresql-7.2.1_1

__________

The Win 95 box seems to have good network connectivity,
at least it happily accesses a SAMBA server running on the
same FreeBSD box as the database.

Any clues are, as always, much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
