I'm not able to help you with your problem as I don't use Firbird myself, however I will suggest two things. First, this is definitely the wrong list for this kind of question. You would be much better to ask on the Delphi-DB List, which you can become a member of at elists.org just as you did this one. Second, there are a number of Firebird specific newsgroups and forums which are available and would probably be much more help to you than anywhere else!

This one might be considered OT because it's not directly related to Delphi programming. As a matter of fact I already ran some tests and it's not directly related to my compiled Delphi application ether. None the less I'm the application developer and my application does not work in the context my user wants it to work, and unfortunately I need to point the finger at the proper problem (otherways my application gets the blame for the malfunction). Enough theory, here's the problem. My application uses an Firebird SQL server for it's client-server stuff. The server has to run on one computer and clients work on many other computers. All clients connect to the Firebird server using TCP/IP. Unfortunately the Firebird server can't be contacted from any other computer except the server computer itself! If I run "netstat -a n -o" I can see the opened port and I can see it binds to 0.0.0.0 so it should be visible from anywhere in the LAN. Unfortunately this does not happen and I think it's because of some odd Local Policy or Group Policy setting somewhere. Please note XP's firewall is NOT active. Also note there's no 3rd party firewall or anti-virus software installed. Any idea where to look?
