Another chapter of this sad history (for me).
- Now I am sure that is not the winxp firewall because I can access the
database from my house thru internet connection, so the port 3050 is ok
in the server.
- I fixed the HOSTS file in \WINDOWS in the win98 machine, I did PING
SERVER_NAME, and it was successfully executed.
- I tyed with the machine NAME and with the machine IP
- I stoped using connection pool in my application
- I changed the url format in my application to: Standard format=
jdbc:firebirdsql:[//host[:port]/]<database>

All these tries were UNSUCCESSFULL

My Connection Code:

public static Connection getConexaoSis()
{
Connection c = null;
String maquina = "";
try
{
maquina = "192.168.0.1"; //T.setServerPath();
}
catch(Exception io){}
String user = T.usuario;
String pwd = T.senha;
String dir_db = "C:\\KOOKY\\SigGraf\\dados\\SIGRAF.FDB";
String url =
"jdbc:firebirdsql://"+maquina+":3050/"+dir_db+"?lc_ctype=ISO8859_1";

try
{
c = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (url, user, pwd);
}
catch(org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException ef)
{
ef.printStackTrace();
T.Mess("Erro FB/SQL: Pegando a Conexão",ef.getMessage());
return null;
}
catch(SQLException eee)
{
eee.printStackTrace();
T.Mess("Erro SQL - Pegando a Conexão",eee.getMessage());
return null;
}
return c;
}
