Hello Cosmin, > 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
>From the same machine as where the fireBird server runs on ? Because this is normally impossible unless there is something wrong with the route tables. If you connect to the "real IP" of a machine using the same machine, then loopback adaptor is used and packets event dont come on the network. this means that "telnet 127.0.0.0 3050" and "telnet <nic_ip> 3050" is Exacly the same !! The latter will go to 127.0.0.1 ! You can check the routing table by "route print". Maybe this route is deleted ? --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> Delphi-Talk@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
