Hi,

I'm trying to reduce the timeout time when i connect to a database and the database is down, or the server its on is down.
Right now it take more than 10 seconds for an exception to be thrown which make my GUI unresponsive.

But it does not work for me.
I'm using Firebird 1.5.3 with Jbuilder and jaybird 2.1.6

Thanks,
