I'm having similar problem, trying to connect from w2k machine
to a remote FB1.5 server running on linux SuSE 9.

IBExpert gives me following error:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:/opt/firebird/examples/employee.fdb

Connecting... Failed!

I have created firebird group and firebird user on linux and
I can connect to database when using isql locally on suse.

I tried using isql from w2k to connect to linux but it gave me
same username/password error.

Thanks
