Hi Paul,

my connection string is:
server:local-path-on-server
i.e.

D_SERVER:c:\FB_Data_Osm

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I found the problem disappeared
once I uninstalled Zone Alarm. I found this very strange as the ZA
service was not running, merely installed on the machine.

I'm gathering it has something to do with ZA'a TrueVector service,
but have yet to prove that.
I also have not tried running it WITH ZA running. In which case I may
be able to allow any connections to port 3050...

The trials continue!
