Assume you mean 127.0.0.1 here?
While you do not need to access firebird over the network ( I assume you only
have the one machine? ) then this will work, but ideally you need your PC name
set to a real IP address. Have had to strip vista off the only machine I had
it on, because of problems setting up some legacy bits, so I can't comment on
how THAT has changed how you set this up. TWO of my customers are now
deploying Linux rather than worrying about Vista :)

The php_interbase still uses gds32.dll - we have not changed that but should
probably now have a good case for creating php_firebird which is configured
against a firebird install. Currently it has to cope with interbase and
firebird ;)

Good to hear - must get around to fixing a couple of niggle on my copy, but
I've been running flamerobin so the need for an OS agnostic tool has eased :)
