Francois,
First a couple of questions:
1) What level of acedb are you using ? If you are using 4_8, you should try
the socket server rather than the RPC server. The programs are called
saceserver and saceclient and details for set up are in wdoc.
2) What are your entries in /etc/services /etc/rpc /etc/inetd ??
Some suggestions
Have you looked in the server log or acedb log in the database to see if the
server program even starts up ? If not, then its likely to be a problem either
with the /etc files or with permissions.
Are you trying to get write access or have you altered the server.wrm file to
allow universal reading (this is a good idea just to get things started).
Don't know if any of this helps....
cheers Ed
