Few things (others may have been here first tho): 1. DONT USE NETBEUI. Its the slowest possible protocol. Use TCP/IP if it all possible. 2. with netbeui, you dont need to share the .gdb file - all you are opening is a named pipe to the IB server - have a look in the manual (which I dont have infront of it - new laptop), but I think its something like: \\machine\c:\somefile.gdb you dont share c:\ - its just a way to reference it. I think it would resolve to server "machine" pipe "interbase" dbfile "c:\somefile.gdb" ...? 3. you can't access a gdb file is its not on a local disk - and the only process that accesses the .gdb file should be ibserver.exe - ever (well, almost - you can embed IB in a C app under unix.... but thats the whole DB!)
