Do you have IB_SQL? ( From www.ibobjects.com )

If so, you should be able to run it on the server and on the
client.

On the server can you connect with the
'NTSERVER:C:\databases\ourdb.gdb'

Then try exactly the same string on the client.

The message you are reporting is suggesting that the server
is working, but unable to access the actual .gdb file when
you go in remote. IB_SQL gives a few more hints at where the
problem is!
