Hi,

I think your problem may be just what the error say: pathing.

For Firebird, you don't specify the path to the server from the client machine's point of view, but rather from the server's point of view (ie. your win98 machine)

Eg. If your database is c:\MyData\MyDatabase.gdb on the win98 machine, then that is the path that you use from the client (your windows 2000 machines) as well.
No need to use (actually you mustn't use) \\MyServerName\ShareName\MyDatabase.gdb like you would have in paradox.

Hi

I have installed the ODBC drivers for Firebird but I can't connect to
the server!!
How do I set the database alias and the network sharing????

I know it's a stupid question but I need to get it to work!!
