Whoops, right. The URL is correct, but it still reports the following error:

SQL Status: HY000
Error code: 335544721
Resource Exception. Unable to complete network request to host "locahost".
Reason: Unable to complete network request to host "locahost".

I can connect to the database from isql using localhost:employee.fdb, so I
don't think it's a Firebird server issue. I came across this thread, but
still can't nail down what could be wrong on this machine.

Is there a simple way to test JayBird independently from OpenOffice.org?

Thanks,
