OK, I've gotten much better at using the embedded version and now I'm ready to try to expand it to use either itself or act as client to an FB server. However, I use IB 6 for other clients so I need to run them both at the same time. I've read the release notes and have been trying to get FB to use port 3051 instead of 3050. I "assumed" that would normally let me use IB as the default server if I didn't specify a port in the connection string. Is that correct?

Here's what I did:

I modified the firebird.conf file and uncommented the RemoteServiceName line and changed it to read:

RemoteServiceName = fbs_db

I then added an entry in the services file:

fbs_db TCP/3051

Is that all that should be necessary or am I missing some other things? That just seems to simple to me so I am "assuming" that I don't have the full picture here. :)

Thanks,

Woody (TMW)
