This is not a problem with the web stuff. Need to go back a step and
check that firebird has actually started properly the machine you are
trying to connect to and that the client software is available on the
windows machine. Although the error says it all. The windows machine is
not able to SEE 'RSP-1710' which it is mapping to IP address 10.1.1.1

Undefined service gds_db/tcp. is an old problem where the client is not
set up properly.

Where are you running IBExpert? I would be starting with flamerobin on
both the linux and windows machines and then checking connections
between machines.
