Hej,
some questions:
- by local connections you're talking about <drive letter:>\path\to\fdb?
Or 127.0.0.1:....., which would be a network connection, regardless of
which host the connection comes from.
- which version of Firebird?
- which user? SYSDBA is allowed to connect an 'offline' database. He has
to, else a database would only become a big jumbled piece of
bits'n'bytes if one pulls the trigger gfix -shut ...
Do you have the output of gstat -h <database.fdb>? What does the row
Attributes say?
