It is client/server. "Local" means server and client running on the same box. 1. You need a full Firebird server installed and running on compaq-proliant. Look at the property sheet for the Firebird service and tell us what version and model of Firebird server you have on that machine. (V. 2.0, 2.1, 2.5, 3.0; model Classic, Superserver, Superclassic). (Copy the line labelled "Path to executable"). 2. Flamerobin and the matching client library (fbclient.dll) should be together on the remote client (the Vista box). 3. Show the full connection parameters you are supplying to Flamerobin (tcp/ip connection path, user name, password...well, don't tell us the password, just put a placeholder there.) 4. Write down any error messages that appear in Flamerobin when you fail to connect. 5. Look at firebird.log in Notepad and copy out anything near the bottom that looks like an error. 6. And, as others suggested, check that port 3050 *on the server* is not firewalled. Helen
