Unfortunately this is NOT a firebird question, nor is it a "database" question in the more general sense. This is a Windows Networking question (not a ICS question ether). The tool I'm using to test the issue is "telnet" and I don't get an answer!
I'm absolutely sure there are other, better NG's for this problem. Unfortunately I'm only reading programming related NG's and mailing lists, and I'm not willing to deal with the very high traffic of Microsoft NG's. I'm simply hoping someone on this list knows something about this problem and has the time to post a reply.
