Maybe Firebird required WinSock2 and IB does not - Win/95 doesn't have
this, maybe straight old Win/98 lacks it as well. If so, the install
should have given a message about this.
I'm just guessing here, of course.


You write:
"My application did not showed the firebird message, but it could not
connect to the database file, error connecting to the database."

Which error message did you see (if any)?
