"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"Thank God for your Data Feed as the only Zippers I see are on my pants (LOL), and no more 200 pip spikes to mess up charts." - Comment from Spiro via Email

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"You are much better than lawyers or the phone company because you answer the phone when I call! I just love your customer service." - Comment from Isreal

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

Author	Topic: Bad historical data on 66.112.156.150? (3 messages, Page 1 of 1)
simon33 -Interested User- Posts: 28 Joined: Apr 9, 2005	Posted: Oct 21, 2008 08:03 AM Msg. 1 of 3 I have two machines I use to connect to IQFeed. They always seem to be 'sticky about which IP they connect too and both act differently. One always seems to connect to 66.112.156.111 and I get good historical data. The other seems 'sticky' on 66.112.156.150 and I consistently get messages '!ERROR! Invalid symbol.' A test symbol that gives this error is 'SPX.XO'. The registry settings on both machines appear to be the same and I can not find where the sticky IP comes from. They are both running 4.2.1.4 So two questions: 1. Why am I getting these invalid symbols on .150 and not .116? 2. How can I change the IP I connect to? BTW, I do not use the feed on both computers at the same time.

However, there are ways to change which server farm you connect to. We do not recommend this because they bypass load balancing and would cause you to not connect if the server farm you are pointing to went down for whatever reason. 66.112.156.150 is the server IP address for our Pre-Production server farm. I suspect that at some point you were testing out some new features from that computer and switched your hosts file to point to that server and forgot to change it back. In order to resolve this, you will want to open up your hosts file and remove the line directing login.interquote.com to 66.112.156.145. Your hosts file is usually located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ If you are unsure about the process or cannot find the file, please contact our support department for assistance.
