According to my experience and many, many comments in BCB IB NG,
localhost:d:\path\path\something.gdb is the correct way. It also works
fine.

As for my 10054 error, I have duplicated it as follows:

App has a mutex to detect if another instance running. Also had
codeguard enabled.

When I shut down app and restarted before codguard had posted messages
about AV (IBSQLMonitor),
seems that this is where the 10054 errors came from. Hopefully.

Thanks.

Best regards
