    hailcaesar,

    The Microsoft Connector for Informix only supports DRDA. Please make sure that you have configured the Informix server to be  “DRDA enabled” and to listen on the 1543 “DRDA port”.  And if firewall is turned on, please make an exception for the listening port that is used by Informix.


    There is also a similar thread for your reference.
