Michael Hi,
i don't know if this is fixed already, but for Interbase/Firebird to connect to a remote server you need to add the FQDN/IP to the database name, i.e. HostName + ':' + DatabaseName for the the second and third arg on isc_attach_database function call.

And where exactly is this a problem ?

in TIBConnection there is a property Hostname. So, people expect to put there the Server Name or IP and the location of the DB in the DatabaseName property. But in IBConnection unit in isc_attach_database, only the DatabaseName is used.

Of course if you include the Server Name / IP in DatabaseName all is working fine but i think that in that case the HostName property just confuse people.

regards,
