Wayne, this sounds, then, like a simple routing problem.
My desktop PC and some others in my office are all on a 10.x.x.x network.
One PC has a second NIC which is set for DHCP for my cable network. This
dual NIC PC has IB running, so too does another PC. You can connect to this
dual NIC PC from anywhere in the world, but the other PC with a single NIC
on 10.x.x.x IP will not be visible to outside world.

An ISP may use this setup if some machines are to be "invisible" tot he
internet. If you want your IB/FB service to be visible to the internet, then
you need to give it a real IP address and provide adequate routing for it on
port 3050.
The 192.168.x.x range of IP addreses provide

----------

Wayne,
Are you saying that the server (address 10.202 etc) is on a network behind
your connection?
The 10 series will not route you know. It's like the 192.168 subnet.

Alan

Yes. What series should the server and workstations be using? All are using
10.202.etc at present.

Thanks
Wayne

Hi, I'm working on a project to migrate Paradox tables to Firebird.
Our system consists of a Windows NT 4.0 server and seven workstations
running Win95.
I've downloaded and installed 'Firebird SQL Server W1-V6.2.794
Firbird 1.0' on the server. I'm using IB_SQL V 4. When I try to
connect to a sample database on the server using the following
database name, Roanoke_Server:c:\Firebird\examples\EMPLOYEE.GDB, I
get the following
message:

ISC ERROR CODE:335544721

ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
Unable to complete network request to host "Roanoke_Server".
Failed to establish a connection.
unknown Win32 error 10061

The HOSTS on client machine contains the entry:
10.202.1.100 Roanoke_Server

The following are TCP/IP Properties:

wireless
internet service. The domain name of LECI and the IP addresses are his
site.)

GateWay

IP Address

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be most
appreciative.


TIA
Wayne
