I'm not sure what the server uses gds32.dll for, I didn't realise it did, in
my set up I couldn't tell you what the version is in the system dir. In
the client, i am currently putting gds32.dll or gds32.dll + fbclient.dll
into the EXE directory of the client application.

The only other thing is if you have not set the port that the server listens
on. When you say it isn't working, do you mean that neither service is
running on the server?
