Have you set in the run parameters section the host application with the
full path of ibserver?

I was just looking at the documentation (OpGuide) for ib v6 under Nt (I
assume W2K and XP) you have to supply -a switch when launching it to do so
as an application. Hopefully it is still the same for the version you are
using. So try, additional to the host application setting, -a in the run
parameters.

Hope this works,
