Well I can "ping rsp-1710" from windows machine.

with IBexpert on windows machine from where i am trying
run the script on WAMP server locally. I could connect
RSP-1710:/FB_DEV/FB_DATA/Data/BOSS_FB2_ANagar.GDB
and browse tables where RSP-1710 is a pure linux machine
even at the time of error in browser.

Please Note that I have installed wamp server on windows
machine. The script is on document root of WAMP server.
Hosts file on windows machine has entry for RSP-1710.

Database is on Linux machine (RSP-1710). Firebird 2.1 SS

What extension is required on WAMP server for firebird. I have
enabled PHP_INTERBASE.dll and restarted the WAMP server.
Does adodb need some other driver ?

Same script when I copied the database to c:\ and tried to run
same error is slammed. I feel there is some driver problem
rather than machine accessibility. On Linux machine I installed
adodb ibase driver few days ago and the same script ran without
any problems on LAMP locally.

Well I feel both IBexpert and flamerobin will serve same
purpose.

Thanks and Best regards
