The sqlhosts file was correct but I didn't change the port number that was associated with the INFORMIXSERVER..
Thanks for the help.

i'm trying to connect to an informix server using jdbc . i am running into problems connecting to some Informix Servers. The server has multiple instances of Informix servers installed. I can connect to some INFORMIXServers but not others.
Each time it fails i get
java.sql.SQLException: INFORMIXSERVER does not match either DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES
The fact that i can connect to the some informix servers has me baffled.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
