tcp problem with port

I am trying to connect via DBACCESS and Informix server to a server on a different computer. When I execute the connect command from dbaccess I get the following message,

Exec format error cannot bind a name to the port.

As far as I know the port is not being used by another client.

How can I fix this?

The error sounds like an Informix configuration
problem. Unfortunately, I don't have access to
an Informix DB anywhere and it's been too long
since I myself have played with it.

You can verify weather or not anything is running
on the port by using...

netstat -a | grep <port_number>
