It's the TCP/ip error WSAEWOULDBLOCK. It's an indication of a
TCP/IP
configuration error (it could be that the TCP/IP service isn't
running,
either on the client or on the server - in the case of IBE, the
client). It could be also that the server can't find (or isn't
allowed to
use) a database file at that host address. That will be the
case if you
have the server running on one node and the database located on
another. (Firebird must connect to a database that's on a
filesystem
directly - physically - controlled on the same node as the
server). Success with a local connection supposes that it
is....

The first thing I would do is configure both the client and
server to
recognise the static IP address of the server by name, in the
HOSTS file on
each machine. Any legal ascii string is OK, as long as the
server knows it
and all clients know. The easiest thing is to use the actual
hostname that
the server is broadcasting. Let's suppose that name is
linuxsvr1...

The entry is:
67.69.128.22 linuxsvr1 # Linux server for Firebird <-- that bit
is just a
comment

On the Linux host you will find the hosts file at /etc/hosts.
On the
Windows client, it's in C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc (slight
variations at
the top of this tree depending on Windows version). If you
don't find it
in Windows, just create a regular ascii textfile and name it
"hosts". Add
your entry, press carriage return and save.

Next, you are almost certainly going to need to do the same with
the node
address of the client. Linux is a lot more fussy about visitors
than
Windows. So use the Windows hostname (you can find it by
right-clicking on
the My Computer icon and inspecting the "Network identification"
tab of the
property sheet). To get the node address that your NIC is
broadcasting, go
into the applet for your LAN connection and work your way
through the
properties till you find it in TCP/IP properties.

Once your win client is broadcasting its hostname, go back to
the server
and test it with ping. If you get a response, open hosts.allow.
Type in
the hostname of the client and save.

There might be other network misconfiguration too, but try that
for starters.
