OK, it looks like me to work, but my question is: For registering a
database access in for example IBOConsole, I've to register a server
(as remote server as you wrote), but I can't give the port number
here. I tried 127.0.0.1:3051 or 127.0.0.1/3051 or the whole
expression to database file: 127.0.0.1/3051:c:\program
files\firebird\examples\employee.fdb for server name, they didn't
work. So maybe: I won't find supporting port number for connection
string in some visual tools like IBOConsole?
