I have heard of a problem from a friend of mine. She has two machines, one acting as a Server with Interbase 6.01 and the other as client. She has only TCP/IP protocol installed
Using

192.168.0.2:E:\DATOS\XX.GDB

from the client, it takes about 2 seconds to get connected, and as long as 30 (!) seconds to get some query result.
Now, if she use

\\servidor\e:\datos\xx.gdb

as database name, it takes about 0.6 sec. to get connected, and faster query response times.

Now, as I understand it, the first is the correct TCP/IP sintaxis; the second is a kind of 'hybrid' of TCP and NETBEUI. Is does correct or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks in advance

Ernesto Cullen
