Assuming Fb 1.5....

To check on the client machine:

1. Did you generate a "compatibility client" gds32.dll using
instclient.exe and place it in the system32 directory?

2. Does the client machine have a Services file entry to listen for the
host?

Did you follow the instructions for configuring an alternative service port
in the Fb 1.5 release notes?
