I'm testing external access purposes and have discovered that on a fresh
linux installation (ubuntu, suse enterprise 9.0 & gentoo 2.6)
Installation of Sybase (ASE1500-DE) worked fine on all platforms, but only
on ubuntu i can get remote access to the databases.
Anyone knows why?
I inserted a correct working license.
I compared the output of the sp_configure command for all 3 platforms and
noticed no differences.
Only thing changed to the standard kernels (on all 3) is setting the
kernel.shmmax to 64MB (67108864).
I also compared the sysctl -A outputs for all platforms, again no noticeable
differences...

Can anybody help me? Did I do something wrong? Thx in advance
Greetings

The most likely problem is that the server is listening on the loopback
network address (127.0.0.1) instead of the public IP address of the
machine.

See http://www.peppler.org/FAQ/linux.html#q1.15 for more information.

Indeed!!
That was the very problem;
the /etc/hosts file referred to
127.0.0.1 localhost
but i had to add
192.168.1.15 suse-host
restart sybase server and check the listeningadress:
# netstat -a -n | grep 5000

Thx alot!
