Subject Re: FireBird can work with NetBeui ?
Author enricorav
Hi,
i don't understand, i can see correctly the network drives (from my
client) but i can't make a valid connection to FireBird server.
If NetBeui was disabled why i can see my network drives ?

I have test the Database connection with IBConsole (Server->Diagnose
connection -> Netbeui) and this is the error message:

Attempting to attach to SERVER using NetBEUI.

An error occurred attempting to connect to SERVER
using the following named pipe:
\\SERVER\pipe\interbas\server\gds_db

NetBEUI Communication Test Failed!

Some news ?

Regards,
Enrico Raviglione.
