It's a local database. No need of IP adress.

On IBOConsole, it's "d:\timeless\Test\Base\COLOMBUS_65_ORCH3.GDB"
D:\ is my hard disk...

For information, we are 4 developers to have this problems on 4
different PC (and a customer that have also the problem...)

If you want i can put the database on a FTP, and you can test
yourself...
