Based on DNS/hosts "dsserver" might resolve to a different (invalid) ip-address.Try to "ping dsservercop1" to check if it's the correct ip-address.Dieter
can you try login using ip address from bteq ?.logon v.x.y.z/id;Also compare the ip address you get via ping / nslookup to the actual IP address ( are they same)
if there's teradata odbc installed in your system, try making use of the adhoc program in the examples folder to connect.The other issue I could think of is a firewall problem between the two systems. which you will have to enlist the help of SA/Networking folks.
I have installed teradata dem0 12 vesrion on Windows XP. I am getting the below error when I try to logon to BTEQ.
.LOGON localtd/tduser
.LOGON localtd/tduser

my hosts file has the below entry :
127.0.0.1 localhost localtdcop1
Please let me know how can I resolve this?
