It sounds like you've got a mismatch somewhere when you configured your
client connection.

You can either check this in the Client Configuration Assistant GUI or
from the command line.

Assuming you are using TCP/IP as the connection method.

You specify the DNS name (or IP address) of the database server and the
port number on which the DB2 instance is listening. You can check the
settings for this using the command LIST NODE DIRECTORY.

You then will have cataloged the database. The "Database Name" is the
name of the database as found on the server. The "Database Alias" can be
anything you want, but is what you use in your "CONNECT to db" string on
the client. You have to specify the node name as mentioned above. You
can check these setting using the command LIST DB DIRECTORY.
