Myles,

[root@server root]# netstat -a
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:cvspserver *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:printer *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:gds_db *:* LISTEN
the last line shows that the port gds_db (or 3050 in default
instalation) are listenning for network connections, what do you get if
you type the command:

netstat -a

Did you tried to connect from a remote machine ?
Did you get some error ?
What error ?

see you !
