Subject Setting up a remote login for FB 1.5 Superserver
Author Grant Brown
Hi all,

Please forgive me as I dont really know the correct question to ask here.

I am setting up a FB 1.5 Superserver DB to enable clients to remotely
log into the DB and I am not sure as to which IP address to use in the
connection string. Could someone have a look at the following and advise
accordingly.

The machine were the DB will reside is a Mac OS X 10.3.8 (7U16)

The current network configuration is as follow (printed from the machine
where the DB will reside however to protect the clients machine I have
changed the actual numbers)

Internal Modem
Interface : modem
Type : PPP (PPSerial)

Built in Ethernet
Interface : en0
Type : Ethernet
IP Address :162.178.0.9
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Broadcast Address : 162.178.0.245
DNS Servers : 162.178.0.1.3.0.0.0
Ethernet Address 00.0d.73.6f.f5.a6



My understanding is that I supply the modem IP address as part of the
connection string and then it will re-route the incoming data to the DB.

Is that correct ? If not what do I need to do here ?
