I installed the SS Server on our win9x development machine and
selected only the client components from the setup for the client
pc's!!! All clients are runing win2k machines for delphi
development!! I have created a system dns for the local firebird
database on the server and I am trying to connect the clients!!!

It keeps telling me that the specified network path cannot be found!!

Pleaze tell me if I made a bolsup with the setup!! - I can take it!! -
