I would appreciate to know what it is that I am doing wrong. After
having followed each and every single instruction as to the embedded
installation of Firebird, I still can't get to connect to the
database and get the files to be accessed. I keep getting this error
message:

---------------------------
Program Name
---------------------------
Connection was not possible.
Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
Failed to establish a connection.
The host actively denied the connection

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

The program tries to connect with string: localhost:database.fdb, and
database.fdb resided in the same directory as the program (fbembed.dll
renamed to gds32.dll and fbclient.dll).

I've followed every single instruction concerning the deployment of an
embedded application.

If anybody has a hint on this, it will be greatly appreciated...
