No, that looks correct, as long as the remote client knows the IP address
of serveur. Do you have an entry in the client's hosts file? c:\windows\hosts

If there isn't a file named hosts, copy Hosts.SAM as hosts and add this:

99.99.99.99 serveur # any comment you like
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
serveur's IP address

Also, check the Services file in the same folder. You could try adding the
entry

GDS_DB 3050/tcp

That tells the client to communicate with the server via port 3050. But I
thought that the v.1.0.3 client did that by default.

That "Feature not supported" is a puzzle. You generally get it when trying
to connect a Windows client app built with IBX to a Classic server, because
it tries to access the services API on connection, and Classic doesn't
support the services API.
