Thanks Tracey and everyone, I still have not been able to connect.
I'm using D2007 and when connecting through TIBDatabase, the connection shows... Remote Protocol: TCP Server: <192.xxx.x.xxx> Database: C:\Program Files\Firebird\DB\<databasename>.FDB Username and password are the standard ones. (Items in <> have been replaces with exact names.) Interestingly, when I press the "Test" button on the "Database Component Editor" (on the TIBDatabase), the systems goes away for some time, but eventually comes back with Unable to complete network request to host "192.xxx.x.xxx:3050". Failed to establish a connection. unknown Win32 error 10061. I have tried with 192.xxx.x.xxx:3050:C:\Program Files\Firebird\DB\<filename>.fdb and various other cokmbinatio0ns, so far without success.

Hi Steve First off I'd be using version 2 given its available and I find it's very reliable. Second if you are using Vista then you must use a TCP/IP connection like Tracy mentioned. E.g. 127.0.0.1:c:\mydir\mydb.fdb If it's on a different machine try adding the servers ip address and that you have read/write access rights -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Peacocke Sent: Friday, 22 June 2007 3:06 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Firebird 1.5 - unavailable database Thanks Tracey, LocalHost will owrk while I have the database on my machine, however I now want to move the database to the server and it won't work - yet.
