This maybe a silly question, but this is my first Firebird install 
for commercial use and I am having trouble connecting to the Server
database. I have attempted to connect to the database from both
IBExpert and from my application, and in both cases I receive a
localhost error indicating that either the host name or DNS server
name must be specified. I have tried plugging in the IP address, the
DNS, and anything else I can think of and am still not connecting.
Any ideas ??????
Thank you in advance....
