Hi Wayne:

Sorry, I could not remember if nslookup was part of Win95 or not.
Anyway, the domain trust may, possibly, be the issue. However it's
difficult to say without being able to "touch" these systems myself.
To explain, if a client running on domain A wants to talk to a
domain, domain B, the client must be granted trust by domain B's PDC
(primary domain controller ) or BDC ( backup domain controller ).
This is because the client is not a member of domain B. The way I
understand it, the client will perform a lookup, IP resolution, and
then contact to the server directly. The server will check the
credentials of the client against the PDC / BDC for that domain,
domain B, and either allow the connection or reject the connection.
So if the client running in domain A is not trusted its credentials
will be rejected.

Since you are able to ping your server that means that the IP
resolution is okay and you can see the server. The server may
however be rejecting the connection. The only suggestions that I can
make are:

From your client, I hope Win95 has telnet, try a telnet connection to
your server running FB. If the server accepts the connection you
should see a blank screen with a cursor. If FB is not running or you
cannot connect to port 3050 you should see an error like "connection
failed."

Also, can you share a folder / directory on the server and access
this from your client?

Another suggestion would be to create a console application and call
gethostbyname(…) to see if this is success or not. Since your
interbase.log file indicated an error in this call. It may be a
false positive.

Best regards,
Dan
