I am attempting to use a modified version of api3.c, that is in the
examples dir. By modified I mean I have changed the sql query slightly
and am pointing it at one of my db's on a remote server. By remote I
mean on the lan but not on the same machine.

I can compile the c app fine, but when I attempt to run it says

Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
-Failed to establish a connection.
-Connection refused
invalid database handle (no active connection)

Where is the localhost coming from. Is there some var that I am not
setting but need to?

Sorry for not having looked in the docs for an answer, but based on the
comment above, by using a servername:/path/to/db.gdb should be able to
use isc_attach();

Although it appears to be trying to connect to the localhost. No good.
