From the server machine I can connect to the Firebird server using "telnet 127.0.0.1 3050". If I try "telent REAL_IP_ADDR 3050" the connection fails! I don't remember the error number (if any) but it was most likely time out related. If I run "netstat -n -a -o" I see the firebird process listening on 0.0.0.0:3050 so it should work on both loopback and the real ip address.
I'll have some colleagues on site tomorrow so I might be able to run some tests, but I have absolutely no idea what to look for. I already looked for personal firewalls or anti virus software and I found none. I also might be able to get an W2k telnet.exe on the XP machine if that makes any difference. Thanks for your input, any other ideas?
