Sean is wrong, you can run the InterBase/Firebird-Server with Windows
9x.

Your problem is the Win95-Client. This version cant resolve hostnames,
which are a IP-address. Two solutions:

a) insert in the HOSTS file at the win95 client

192.168.0.1 mydbserver

and connect with the string

mydbserver:c:\program files\myapp\data300.gdb

on the win95 client

b) install the winsock 2.0 update for win95. Then you can use ip
addresses
in the connect string
