Have you checked that the built-in firewall of Windows XP is
disabled or properly configured too?

> Normally, I'm able to figure these out, but this one has me stumped:

> Two computers networked. Server is running Windows XP, and Firebird
> 0.9.4. Client is Windows 2000, with the FB 0.9.4 "client only" install.
>
> When the client tries to connect to the server via TCP/IP through my
> app, they get "Unable to complete network request to host...Unknown
> WIN32 Error 10061". I know that this means "connection refused", but I
> can't figure out why. I've tried connecting via both the name and IP
> address, and all the normal things:
>
> Client can ping the server, both by IP address and by name.
> Both the client and server have the correct GDS_DB entry in the services
> file.
> Server can connect to itself, both with a local connection, as well as a
> loopback connection (server name localhost).
> Server doesn't have any firewall software installed that the user knows
> of.

> Any more ideas?
