I stopped and started the Firebird service on a Windows 2000 server,
and can no longer connect using tcp/ip, even from the server itself.

Communications diagnostics shows the error

"No connection could be made because the target machine actively
refused it."

I have gds_db 3050/tcp in the services file.
I can ping the server name ok.
I can connect using NetBeui ok.
I have uninstalled and re-installed firebird.
So what's the problem?
