Can't help with the problem directly, but you must use Netstat -a on the
server to see the listening port. It should look like this:

TCP <server>:gds_db 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING


Have you tried using IB_Sql from the server directly, rather from a client
machine? This is a good way to half-spilt the problem, if you can connect
it's a network issue. If you can't connect, it's something local to the
server. Use the same connect string.
