In addition, try to see whether the FB server actually is running etc by doing tasklist ==> & look for Firebird process netstat -a to see if Firebird is listening; default port 3050 telnet myserver 3050 ==> or whatever the port is it is listening on If it is not 3050, you'll have to specify the port in the ODBC setup. There's a help file included with the odbc install which should explain how. and try connecting using e.g. FlameRobin http://sourceforge.net/projects/flamerobin/files/flamerobin-snapshots/0.9.x/ to see if it is an ODBC problem or a Firebird/connectivity issue.
