Ok, now I've seen it:
- if I use the firebirdsql_embeded.jar from
"firebirdembededforjava_JDK14_RC1_01.zip" everything goes well;
- if I use the firebirdsql_withtype2changes.jar it attempts to build a
network connection and fails;
- forward and backward slash can be both used.

Thanks for the help
Luca
