This thread should really move to the IBPP support group, since it is becoming more detailed than a quick "is it working for everyone" question, which was ok for this group.

However, to answer your question, when you call the Database Factory, you either pass in an empty string ("") for the server parameter, or you pass in an actual server address ("localhost" or "127.0.0.1" or a real address like "myserver", "192.168.1.10", etc). In the first case, you get a local connection, in the latter cases all connections will be TCP/IP.

HTH,
