We will need some more information, but finding this may fix
your problem.

What Operating System are you using?

Is TCP/IP actually installed?

Can you 'ping' the machine you are trying to use as a
server?

'Alias' is not acceptable in Interbase, that is a BDE
concept. You will need to use the full path on the server.

i.e. - server:c:\datadir\database.gdb
