Check if you have TCP port open at all like this:

lsof | grep IP | grep gds_db

If you don't get anything, probably the inet service isn't running, or
it isn't setup to use Firebird. Firebird CS requires inetd to run it.

ps ax | grep inetd

I you see it running, check the configuration file. I don't have SuSE,
so I know know where it is, try /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/inetd/inetd.conf
. Or just do: man inetd, are read the FILES section.

Your instalation might be running xinetd instead of inetd, so you may
try with that if you can't find inet.
