isql direct returns the same error message. Through Google search I
found out that error message win32 10060 means connection time out =
host did not respond - probably blocked by firewall.
When I entered the settings of firewall - I did not see 350/tcp in
advanced. I put it down, went through rest of settings - Opened the
settings once more and again nothing remained - as if some magic
cancelled all my actions???

Is there any way to set up and check this parameter in some Linux
configuration file?
