today I tried to connect a new client to a server running FB on W2000.

The server shares a directory called "database" and the server name is
"server".

I have successfully connected clients running W95 or W98 to the same server.

This time, the client runs Windows NT 4.0 .

As a start, I checked that the server is regularly seen from "Network
Resources".

Then I tried to connect WISQL.

I set the following parameters:

remote server: checked

server: server

network protocol: tcp/ip

database info: c:\db.gdb

user name: SYSDBA

password: masterkey

These parameters always worked with W95/98 clients.

This time, I got the message: "error while trying to open the file"

I tried also

database info: c:\database\db.gdb

with no luck.

Is there something special with WNT I should know ?

This PC is the only one running WNT in the whole office and I was told that
the technician who built the network had to strive to connect this PC to
the server (no further information re the reason...).
