Subject TCP connection problem
Author Bill Zwirs
Can get my application to connect to firebird database on remote server
using Netbeui but get following error when using TCP connection format.
(Application uses IBX controls)

"Unable to complete network request to host 'pa-hq-svr-rdc' failed to
establish a connection. No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it"

Have also used IBExpert Communication Diagnostics which can connect using
Netbeui and gets the following result with TCP:

Found Service GDS_DB at port 3050
Failed to connect to host PA-HQ-SVR-RDC on Port 3050
Error num 10035

Can someone please explain why I can't get a TCP connection. Have also
tried to use IP address instead of server name with same result.

thanks in advance

Bill
