    It is possible, are you getting any error message when testing the connection?

    If my understanding is correct
    a) HO & Store DB exist on the same server
    b) DD services for both exist on the same server

    Your host file will read
    <IP Address> DD_HO
    <IP Address> DD_STORE

    IP Address will be same for both the services.

    However both the services should be operating on different ports. Hence you will need to add entries in your services file.
    For eg.,
    DD_HO tcp/16750
    DD_Store tcp/16760

    What difference does that make, so long as you define the connection string within DD correctly it should be OK.

    The IP address you define in the host file, is the IP Address of the machine where your DD services are installed and not of the database.

    If you are not familiar with DD setup, perhaps you should be speaking to your partner.

    Please read through my previous posts carefully as it explains what goes on in the hosts and service files.

    What have you tried so far?
    What error message are you getting?

    I'll say it again, if you are not familiar with DD setup, please speak to your partner.
