Hi Wayne:

I don't know why my messages keep getting truncated? Maybe I type to
much? Here is what I was suggesting:

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?

Can you run your clinet on the server where FB is installed? That is
are you able to place your clinet on the server and connect using the
string:
localhost:c:\...

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 give more
detail or possibly be a false positive.

Best regards,
Dan
