What about netstat? Does it show you, that gds_db (3050) port on
the server is listening? Is the IB server runned? Is there a line
'gds_db 3050/tcp' in the 'services' file? Have you ever tried the
local connect or NetBEUI? Is there any network administrator or
somebody with a good English and network understanding nearby? Have
you ever read the "Operational guide"? Especially "Connection
troubleshooting" section.
