1.1.1.1 is not a valid IP-Adress for a local Network. Use 10.x.x.x or
192.168.x.x instead.
The Path Seperator on *nix System is / and NOT a Backslash!
I suggest you first try if you can access employee.fdb on the Server
e.g.: 'yourserverip:/path to employee dir/employee.fdb' and than use the
same Directory for
your new db.
